Red means the camera is picking up an external light source.

There must be no red anywhere in the window! This is critical.

If not, you probably need to move the camera left or right on your monitor or adjust the legs on the camera so that it is vertically centered.

The dots should be reasonably close to the center of the window.

If two of the dots are too close together, you probably don't have the camera properly centered with respect to your vector clip.

The three dots (which are the reflection of the three reflectors on your vector clip) should be fairly evenly spaced apart.

Your Tracking Window should look very similar to the one in this picture.

When you first bring up the program, click the Options button and set things up this way: Force confirm upon close (protects against accidental termination).The best way to run the TrackIR software is to configure it to: You can easily read through it in a half hour or so and it is definitely worth the time. Spend a little time reading through the manual. Also, be sure the camera is lined up horizontally with your reflectors as well.įirst, make sure you have the latest TrackIR driver from NaturalPoint. The important issues are to mount the camera so that it is at the same level as the vector clip (baseball hat clip) or the Track Clip Pro (clip that mounts to your headset). For example, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 and X support all six degrees whereas LockOn Flaming Cliffs only supports three (Yaw, Pitch, Z). Not all games do and not all support all axes of movement. To use TrackIR, a game must be designed to use it. That means it detects six axes of movement (referred to as "degrees of freedom"). Thus, subsequent use of the term "TrackIR" refers only to the vector device. This article will only cover the vector based TrackIR4 (or TrackIR3 with the vectoring add-on) version. It consists of a small camera that mounts on top of your computer monitor and detects three small reflectors either attached to a baseball cap or a clip version that fastens to the side of a headset. In case you don't know, TrackIR is a hands-free infrared tracking device that replaces joystick Point-Of-View hats and keyboard view keys allowing you to move your view in the game simply by moving your head.
