Alternative TrackIR/Headtracking ?

[Copet Gabut]

Hi, im going to try for headtracking. What ive found is FaceTrackNoIR for only using webcam. Im using Asus ROG G751jy laptop 17inch. But i think my webcam is not good enough. Im considering to buy one, what would you suggest?

I've spent a year using the PS3 Eye with FaceTrackNoIR before I bought my TrackIR, and I can say it works really well... Of course it's not the best thing out there but will get the job done.

Yes, only the camera + FaceTrackNoIR.

The size of your monitor isn't a problem, don't worry about that. Just keep in my that this kind of head tracking isn't the best option out there, but you will have fun for sure and it's a good starting point.

my room is little bit dim, not too bright. How is yours? would that affect the capture?

Yes, to get better results with FaceTrack you need to have a brighter environment, so your PS3 Eye will get more FPS.

Infrared is affected adversely by heat, and light that is generated with heat is full of infrared. So if you have a heater... watch out for that. Something that is pitch black to us but is hot is 100% bright to something attuned for IR. A lightbulb puts out a fair amount, but a heater (or anything reflecting it's line of sight) is brighter to IR than most parts of a bulb. And the sun and reflections of it are plus +100 to infrared. A lot of people who use trackIR are expecting a fullbright warm room to detect little bright IR lights and there is no difference between the two.

Infrared is very effective if the room is cold and dark. It shouldn't be that necessary to do that, but just watch out for hotspots.

Wow good choice my friend, how about this https://trackhat.org/trackhat-clip/ compare to delanclip? . Il consider to take delanclip since its price is cheap that others.

Not sure. DelanClip sells the already modified Camera with removed IR filter and installed daylight filter. Here I can not find the info about modified camera. But probably it will be modified too.

DelanClip is possible to use with Zipties or velcro.
