TekaTeka Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 You don't have to wear a cap anymore.:thumbup: Hey all: TrackClip Pro is almost here! TrackIR 4 and TrackIR 3 Vector users can now attach our active LED headset clip right to their favorite over the ear style headset and have full 6DOF control of the view in their favorite simulator. This product has been requested for a long time and we are very happy to finally announce it. Look for an official launch soon, and pre-orders around the 1st of December. This early forum post is to answer questions related to the TrackClip Pro tracking selection in our new Beta software, which has been posted today. -------------------- Jim NaturalPoint http://forum.naturalpoint.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=0&Number=21122&an=0&page=0#Post21122 New software version 4.1.029 beta 4 is available, too. http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/06-support/support-download-software-and-manuals.html EDIT: Now you can see the image.

S77th-konkussion Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 This is great! My 2Pro is working fine- but I was not looking forward to wearing that current monstrosity when I eventually have to replace it.. [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=43337&d=1287169113[/sIGPIC]
Ukr_Alex Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 I hope its reasonably priced. If its over 25$ then forget it...shipping tax and all that boosting it to 40$ is not worth it. :Core2Duo @ 435FSB x 7 3.05GHz : ATI x1900xtx: 2GB Patriot @ 435Mhz : WD 250Gb UATA: Seagate 320Gb SATA2: X-Fi Platinum:
SuperKungFu Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Any idea what does it look like? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
ARM505 Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 What is this? Just something that replaces the hat/clip and allows you to just wear your headphones?

S77th-konkussion Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 hahah Beat me to it. I just read the newsletter myself. [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=43337&d=1287169113[/sIGPIC]
SuperKungFu Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 lol yea me too, but how does it clip on? The design is certainly unique. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
VapoR Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 I don't have the vector expansion yet, I wonder if this new clip includes the software activation just like the hat does?
Ice Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Not mut use for me. I wear my headset around my neck and only use the mike. I cant stand headphones
SuperKungFu Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 I would just like to know how will it work since most of trackir tech is based on reflectors, if this is only to one side and if you turn your head covering the reflection, how will it detect it. Unless this is some new tech. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

VapoR Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 I guess you will have to move the TrackIR itself off to the side the clip will be, that way the clip will stay in view of the sensor.
Carlos73 Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 El cheapo version of trackclip :) Get rid of trackir cap el cheapo style. Requires just doublesided tape.
Vosxod Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 I'm not paying for new clip. "el cheapo style" rocks! NP has to get real with their prducts, prices and support...

zaGURUinzaSKY Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 ahaha in few years we'll need flight suit and helmet to fly in a sim.. Robbie.
Prophet_169th Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 I wont be buying it either. I have no issues wearing a cap, nor the current clip. The hat I used is from a Blue Angels air show anyways... how could I fly without it... I got the lead to sign it :) Was gonna have the rest sign, but the parents were getting mad at me for pushing their dear children out of the way. J/K, I didnt get the rest because I wanted all the kids to get in and talk with the pilots, maybe they will see a flightsim like LockOn and pester mommy to buy it hehe. Heck thats how I got started. Saw one local air show.. and it was over.
zaelu Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 And if you still want the "active illumination" type you can do something like this: Only 30USD!

TekaTeka Posted November 28, 2006 Author Posted November 28, 2006 The official product page is open. The price is $39.95 A little expensive... :( http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/02-products/product-TrackClip-PRO.html TekaTeka from Japan [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Visit my site Beyond Visual Range.

ARM505 Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 Well, this still seems utterly pointless to me (and for 40 USD too!) - who could possibly have an absolute need to have that? Whats wrong with the cap, or attaching the reflectors to the headset? I don't get it....
kydius Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 Damn that's quite expensive! But do you absolutely need a headset to make it work? Couldn't you just clip it to your ear? (and still be comfortable)
