experience with orientation

Post by bruns »

Hi,

does anyone have experiences in getting the orientation of a vector clip (3 markers).
How accurate are these values?
It seems to me that the system has problems when the marker is sloped while rotating. For example I turn it about 10 degrees but it shows me 40.
Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks
Jim

Hello:

The Vector clip can be very accurate when it is facing the camera directly, it is not meant to be off angle much, as it is supposed to be on a persons head. If you want it to work MUCH better I would suggest replacing the 3 curved targets with round balls. 1/2" round balls covered in reflective material make a big difference in how well it works off axis.
