[Rock-dev] using the vicon component

Dear Martin,

It seems the component cannot find the Subject. If I remember well the Subject
name is case-sensitive.
Also define one single Subject.  Ultimately, use the debug output to check if at
least you can track independent markers positions (independently of the
Subject).

I hope it helps.

Regards,

Javier.
