Stuttering/Erratic movement
Posted: Sun Nov 12, 2017 3:11 pm
I use TrackIR 5 with the Track Clip Pro. If I look too far to the right (roughly about 45° real-world) it freaks out and starts having a seizure, and if I look farther, it continues to just look straight down.
All 3 IR lights from the Track Clip Pro are visible and in the center of the camera, and it's not picking up any other light source -- looking left works fine. I've noticed that having all 3 light sources above center will cause it to move extremely quickly, while having all 3 light sources below center will cause it to happen much more slowly, as if I'm actually looking down.
The problem is independent of any curves and only happens when Pitch movement is enabled. If I look at about 40° and recenter my view, turning my head the remaining 5° will cause the same issue, making me think it's a problem with physical positioning or tracking and not software. Regardless, I've reinstalled the software twice, once quickly and once completely (Deleting every remnant of the software I could find), and am trying a previous version as well with no dice to fix my issue.
Here is a video of what's happening; https://youtu.be/RZ8RMBvpEyk
YouTube makes it a bit difficult to see the lights in the small Camera View panel, but I promise there is absolutely nothing going on there. None of the lights are ever lost, nor are any extra ones picked up, I'm purely just moving my head as level as I can to the right. The same thing happens if everything is disabled but Pitch: after about 45°, it suddenly looks straight down.
It's not a huge problem for me since it's just about over the edge of where it's still comfortable to look at my screen while my head it turned, but if I move my head too far, I find myself looking at the ground which can be a little disorienting, so I figured I would see if anyone else has or has had this problem, or if anyone knows how to fix it.
