compatibility with track clip pro? #90

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

Does linux-track work with the track clip Pro 
(http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/02-products/product-TrackClip-PRO.html) ?

I assume so, but just wanted to make sure before purchasing. I'm not sure if 
the points are arranged exactly the same way they are with the normal hat clip.

Hello,

yes, TrackClip Pro is supported - just select it in the ltr_gui's second pane 
as your "model"...

Kind regards,

Michal

Sorry, follow up question :) I stumbled on this post with the picture of 
dancers at the bottom:

http://vvvv.org/forum/highly-infrared-reflective-paint-tape-or-fabric

Apparently reflective tape that you can get in an auto parts store reflects IR 
well. If I take an existing headset and just put the tape on it on 3 spots how 
well would that work? Is it possible to specify a custom 'model'? Depending on 
the headset I get I don't know how easy it'll be to position the tap similarly 
to the hat clip.

Hello,

it should work, as TrackClip is using the exactly same thing...

You can create custom model, just use the appropriate type/configuration and 
fill in the actual dimensions and select that it is a reflective model.

One word of caution - you didn't specify which tracing device you use; if you 
use webcam with IR filter, the reflected light might not be strong enough to 
"burn" through...

Kind regards,

Michal
