Re: Advice on Rigid Body design

<t>Steve:<br/> <br/> Sorry for the late reply, this post was forwarded to me for follow up.<br/> <br/> What a cool project! I really want to help to get this working. Optical tracking in the small volume is a bit on the tough side, but we can probably make it work, especially if you had it working w...

Re: Many random marker blips being detected

<r>Hello:<br/> <br/> If you have what we call "phantom markers" like this, it is usually due to having a poor camera calibration, where there are rays converging that are making markers that don't really exist. <br/> <br/> Try turing on the Rays display and show Untracked Rays.

Re: Lower FOV lenses?

<t>Hello:<br/> <br/> Typically the smaller the FOV, the lower the distortion, so you are moving in the right direction.<br/> <br/> For the SLIM, I would use CS or C mount lenses and you can use a standard 6mm lens to get about 34 degrees horizontal full field of view. Next standard size is 8mm and w...

Re: mechanical issue - TIR4

<t>Vic:<br/> <br/> Hmm, probably no way to tighten it up in the field. You could strain relief the cable on your monitor in some fashion, so it doesn't pull on it? If you are out of warranty, you could open it up and just clean the two o-rings that hold it in position, maybe they have gotten slick o...
