OK is it possible to set up virtual-dual or even -tri monitors using only one monitor and accessing the other two using TrackIR while in windows.

Being a designer, working in Windows, having Photoshop, InDesign, and Acrobat all open simultaneously and accessing them with a nudge of my head, would be fantastic.

What say you?

Hmmm, I have never thought about that type of setup. In general the TrackIR itself is not designed for use on the system desktop.

It could be possible with the SmartNAV system, and have an application which is triggered when the cursor "hits" the edge of the screen.

I believe that one would have to have a 'desktop' that would be very wide or set up similarly like having dual monitors, or even the 'cross' setup- consisting of the center, monitor above that, below that and to the left and right of it.

How that would be implemented is beyond me. But functionally it would be fantastic and save companies lots of money not having to buy so many monitors for multiple-monitors users.

My biggest work dilemma is that I have to continually slip between programs, minimizing and restoring and always moving tool boxes to see the art.

A co-worker and I were discussing it and she isn't even a gamer and said that she would be interested in getting a TrackIR if it did the aforementioned on her desktop.

...just saying.
