Hi guys.

I've been trying to configure Freetrack with Genius i-Look 300 these past few days and I've been running into something I find weird.

I've yanked out the IR filter from the camera and when I start Freetrack, my image looks like this:

When I place a floppy disk 'floppy' in front of the lens, the image looks like this:

Obviously, the camera somehow compensates for the floppy and still pulls off the image. Plus, there's a whole bunch of IR light around and Freetrack is picking up too many IR sources.

When I turn on the headtracking device I made, it does detect the 3 points, but obviously it can't use only those because the image is flooded with IR.

If I lower the treshold it gets better and I get this, but I never get ANY head movement indicated on the skull...

I haven't found any camera software except for the driver for Windows 7 64-bit so I don't really know how to configure the Auto-Exposure etc.

Any thoughts would be appreciated...

Hi,

no autoexposure at all.

You need to disable all auto-function of the webcam, otherwise it try to compensate the filter.

But, how do I turn off auto-exposure if the camera has no software, just a rudimentary driver?

Right...I rebuilt the system with 3 new LEDs and it's shining much brighter now, however I'm not sure how to configure it so that moving forward is registered as zoom. Is there something special I need to do?

When you click on "Camera" button normaly the "Camera Properties" Window opens to change settings.

For some basic axis settings  check this:
