Tracking is an indispensable part of any virtual reality and augmented reality application. While the need for quality of tracking, in particular for high performance and fidelity, has led to a large body of past and current research, little attention is typically paid to software engineering aspects of tracking software. To address this issue we describe a software design and implementation that applies the pipes-and-filter architectural pattern to provide a customizable and flexible way of dealing with tracking data and configurations. The contribution of this work cumulates in the development of a generic data flow network library called OpenTracker to deal specifically with tracking data. The flexibility of the data flow network approach is demonstrated in a set of development scenarios and prototype applications in the area of mobile augmented reality.
