Hi all,

Was not sure what forum to use for this kind of question... Anyhow, I am thinking about purchasing TrackIR but something I am wondering about is in regard to using it. For example, I understand this thing uses actual head movement. So if I turn my head to the side, how do I see the monitor to see what I am looking at other than the wall in my room? Obviously the monitor stays in the same spot although the screen changes.. but if I look left, then how am I supposed to see the screen? I understand perephrial vision but that is not comfortable viewing looking at something while your head is turned another direction...

Can someone better explain this please?

Hi Malakie,

The TrackIR software offers a variety of ways to customize how your actual head movement is translated in game. The vast majority of users utilize motion scaling, which allows you to manage your in-game view control with relatively small head movements.

For more explanation and an example of this principle, check out the TrackIR Explained video below, starting at the 1:00 mark.
