Whats the life expectancy of a TIR ?

Will the IR bulbs burn out ? It runs fairly hot - certainly not like a IR remote control or anything.

I'm not expecting to pass this thing on as a family heirloom - I'm just curious whether theres a predicted lifespan (hours).

TIA for any replies.

nemmie,

I could answer this question as a NaturalPoint employee and say that it will last forever.

However I will answer this as a user...

I probably put my TrackIR through way more than the average user, when I'm testing etc. and I haven�t had one die on me yet.

In my six months at NaturalPoint I have only had one return because it didn�t work, and that was replaced straight away.

I think that I can say with confidence that you will upgrade your computer before your TrackIR.

I hope that helps to answer your question.
