It usually works well but sometimes when I look down and to the left the top LED and the middle LED will blend together and Freetrack loses one of the LEDs. Sometimes if I fiddle with the clip on my headset and reposition it the problem will go away but not always. Are there any settings to prevent this? Edited by nealius on 05/04/2013 at 22h45.

If sitting to far away, your dots wil be close together also.But maybe you must only change some settings in freetrack so you don't have to move your head so far up or down.Go to the profile tab and increase sensitivity for all axes( around 1,5 to start)If sensitivity already is set to 1.5 or higher check the normal view of your webcam.Maybe you need to zoom in to make your image biggerand create bigger distance between your leds.I see you have red dots,you don't use Ir-leds? greetz Stormrider

I am using IR LEDs, with two layers of exposed, developed film on my webcamera as a filter. This problem with LED blending seems to be fairly recent, as I did not have this problem 3 weeks ago. Looking up and down is fine. Looking left and right is fine. Look down and to the right works fine. Only looking down and to the left has problems. I only have to move my head about 20 degrees to get 180 degrees of movement.

Looking left down is a problem, maybe you can try with you cam mounted a bit more to the left.What cam do you use by the way?And what is the position of the webcam?If it is looking down on you to much you get also that problem.I tried it myself.If I make the webcam looking down to my setup I get the same problem( upper and middle led melt together). Normally I use a capmodel and my webcam is almost on the same level as my webcam.I think that's the best position. greetz Stormrider

It used to be further left however when I leaned in and shifted my head to the right I would go off-camera. It is almost level with my model, pointed slightly downward. I cannot lower it due to my 19" monitor. What should my point size be? It is currently 5 pixels minimum, 30 pixels maximum.

The melting of the dots is not a problem of the software but it is caused by the position of your webcam and your model. I think that when you center freetrack your model and webcam must be in a straight line. I is not realy a problem that your cam is looking down if you let your model also look a bit up.But first try if it helps to put your cam under your monitor. greetz Stormrider
