Motion Capture with OpenGL on Atom Board

I am looking to make an arm where each joint can be controlled given an input. For example, I would receive a location each millisecond and I would need each joint to move to that new location. This is going to be used to simulate motion capture. Are there any good tutorials about how to do this. I am programming this on an atom board with limited support for openGL. I tried using C++ G3D but it seems to be too complicated for the graphics card. There were some glitches when rendering. Would a more basic OpenGL only approach be better? Are there models for arms that have pivot points built into them?

G3D itself uses OpenGL as a rasterizer backend, so I doubt that would make any differency. After all OpenGL is just a drawing API and doesn't maintain a scene. You send it commands to draw points, lines and triangles and it executes them. It's really nothing more. You need to implement scene management to do anything usefull with OpenGL, and controlling a figure is already a quite complex task.
