Setting up a CAVE
Posted: Thu Apr 23, 2009 10:20 am
Hi all,
We're setting up a CAVE, for which we're planning to use two trackIR devices to track the user's head position, so I'd like to know a few things:
- What's the real maximum tracking angle (not the software scaled value that I get trough the SDK API representing virtual +-180 degrees) of the trackIR cameras? (i.e: How much the left head in the "heads" window rotates when I turn my head (say left) to the maximum) (same for pitch and roll), as I can see it's about 45 degrees for all three axes.
- We're planning (if that's true) to use two cameras to get a real 180 degree rotation range and so a better user experience, our software will get the actual head position and rotation using the information from the two cameras, any suggestions on this?
- As you may know from my previous post, we're using TrackIR SDK with V100 cameras and Vector Clip, is it worth to switch to OptiTrack SDK?
Thanks in advance
