WildBillKelsoe Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Hello, I wanna make a hard helmet for trackIR with a drop down eyepiece, pretty much like hms, but like antireflection plastic glass, since my eyeglasses cause trackIR extra blips, and I wanna make a shield over my glasses, with a reticle, sort of like full cover. capiche?

sobek Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Good for you! :) Now is there a question? Or should we display our awe here? I'm really lost. :D Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!

Dimebag1 Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Just get yourself a HMD from emagin or tdvision, and you get to see the reticule for helmet aiiming mode anyway, plus you get 3d stereoscopic graphics. If u got the cash it's worth a look. Otherwise I think emagine also supplies single eyepiece translucent displays to the military, you could get one of those. Or here's an idea: use idisplay app with an old iPod touch for a second display and make a program to display the reticule by extracting lua data. Only problem is you probably won't beable to match up where your head is pointing to where the actual target is on your screen, even if you have three screens, which is why I suggested the HMD in the first place.

WildBillKelsoe Posted December 1, 2010 Author Posted December 1, 2010 Something like this? [ATTACH]45181[/ATTACH] yeah but with a drop down plastic antireflection, for trackIR, since I'm on prescription glasses, and they cause the camera to go nuts inside the zones... something like convex so screen light becomes reflected away from camera... imagine a pilot helmet, for a pilot with prescription glasses. instead of the sunblock shield you drop down, replace that with anti-glare shield.... thats what I meant "anti-glare" and sure I get alot of talks about the looks of the whole thing...:pilotfly: AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below.

Buy a scooter helmet with anti-glare visor. That would be easy to get.
ilikepie Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 ^ you would get a bit of light bounce of that wouldn't ya? if its a gloss finish? Action After Contemplation
Rusty_M Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 spray it with some sort of matt paint. The world is going mad. Me? I'm doing fine! http://www.twitch.tv/rusty_the_robot https://www.youtube.com/user/RustyRobotGaming
NotiA10 Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 what about light filtering. cant you adjust it in such a way that you dont get any reflections from you glasses ? i wear glasses too but never had a problem like this. wbr, NotiA10 :pilotfly: NotiA10 CoolerMaster HAF RC-932 - Intel Core i7 950 - Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro - Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R - Kingston DDR3 6GB - Gigabyte Radeon HD 5870 EF 6 Edition - Western Digital 640GB SATA-III - CoolerMaster 700W - TrackIR Pro 4 - Saitek X52 - Saitek Rudder Pedals - Hotas Warthog
Kuky Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Anything with nice smooth surface will reflect the light... I had some such trouble with Saitek Headset so I ended up painting the nickel plated metal bits with matt black and problem solved :D you know, have you tried positioning TrackIR behind your head? That will work also, all you gotta do is reverse the pitch axis.

CyBerkut Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Kuky's suggestion about putting the Track IR behind your head is a good one, assuming you are not using some sort of high backed seat that would block it. The other easy way to get rid of the reflection problem associated with your prescription eye wear is to use a TrackClip Pro instead of the reflectors. That way, you are sending the IR light away from your head, toward a passive TrackIR unit. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] There's no place like 127.0.0.1

The other easy way to get rid of the reflection problem associated with your prescription eye wear is to use a TrackClip Pro instead of the reflectors. That way, you are sending the IR light away from your head, toward a passive TrackIR unit. it also happens with clippro.. you see, if I increase the threshold filter, the camera will pickup less from the sensor, hence the shaking.. a V helmet would scatter the light away from camera... I might get a spray for a mutt coat and that would bust the problem. maybe spray little on an old prescription (of course after correcting the optics) then use UV light in my darkened room. what do you think?

CyBerkut Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 Hmmm... Well, if it is happening to you, it has probably been a problem for other people before. You might want to check Natural Point's forums to see if anyone has addressed it in there. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] There's no place like 127.0.0.1
WildBillKelsoe Posted December 4, 2010 Author Posted December 4, 2010 I did, the only thing is a helmet with a mutt visor, the visor could be bent at center so it's like a beak that way, light goes away from centerpoint, leaving only the clip or pro for tracking.. I'll post in this thread the progress.. Thanks for the tips folks!!! AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower.
