Can the raw camera feed be viewed like an IR camera?

Obviously in the TrackIR software you can look at the camera view but essentially you just get a two tone display based on the light filter threshold.

Out of curiosity, can you look at the raw feed like an IR camera? It would be pretty cool if so, especially as a streamer, your viewers may be able to see your temperature go up when you get in a stressful situation :p

Hello TrackIRman,

That would be a pretty cool feature, but the camera is incapable of registering temperatures, it isn't that type of IR camera. Raw data can be viewed, but only as numbers, the camera does not have grayscale imaging capabilities. Even then, it takes access to the developer SDK and some pretty comprehensive programming knowledge to view the data. As much as I would like to see that, it just isn't going to happen with the TrackIR.

Regards,
