Multiple Track IR's in same room?

Post by VRTrem »

Hi all - anyone know - if I have 2 or 3 flight sim rigs in the same room, next to each other (in an arcade environment) can I use multiple Track IR's ?
Or - are they not actually device specific paired and will just interfere with each other?

Thanks!

Hello VRTrem,

The TrackIR cameras will pick up on any TrackClip or TrackClip Pro. The cameras are just looking for IR signals, specifically the three reflections (TrackClip) or the three LEDs (TrackClip Pro). There is no direct communication between the TrackClip/TrackClip Pro and the computer, so there is no way for the camera to know if a TrackClip(Pro) belongs to a different player. Please note that the TrackClip Pro only needs to plug into a computer to get power from the USB port.

I would suggest that you have some sort of barrier between the cameras and players if you want to try playing in the same room. That would allow each TrackIR camera to detect only the TrackClip or TrackClip Pro in its line of sight.

Kind Regards,
