despite putting 1-4 dots on my hat (either brim in front or headband in back and wearing it "hiphop"-style)

when I go to the TRACKING version 2.0 software screen I always see 3-4 smaller dots surrounded by RED which according to the manual means ANOTHER light source is TRACKING)...I do ALSO have the yellow dot surrounded by green representing the main reflective dot(s) which is always ABOVE the other 3-4 on the tracking software screen...

I kept thinking what the H*** is that coming from (the other dots that is)?...I have glass doors behind me in my study so I tried moving them (opening, closing, halfway, etc.)...still the dots were there...then I repostioned my monitor...still there...until I finally discovered where the reflections were coming from!

MY OWN FARGIN' EYEGLASSES!


removed my glasses...NO MORE RED BORDERED DOTS...


however...I CAN'T see S**T without my glasses (including my monitor!)!


is there a way of decreasing the sensitivity of the TRACKIR camera so that it will pick up only the reflective dots and NOT my eyeglasses!

furthermore, has anybody else had this problem?...I do think the red dots make it harder for Track IR to track correctly



help anybody?

Yup, common problem. It is no big deal though. You stated that the little dots are surrounded by a red box and the correct dots have the green box. That is because the red boxes mean that TrackIR is ignoring those because they do not fit the aspect ratio defined by your filters. Your normal dots are surrounded by green because they do pass the filters and therefore are the tracked dots.

You have nothing to worry over, everything is functioning perfect and you wont see an increase in performance by not wearing your glasses.
