blackbelter Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) To all TrackIR user who wear spectacles, If you find your view in games are unstable, shakes involuntarily, read on... The other day I was experiencing this apparently weired shakiness. Without thinking too much, I went to disable the mouse control of view, because I thought that it was conflicting with TrackIR. I have experienced this before, and this fixed it the last time. But this time it did not... People have suggested that this may be due to some external IR light sources fooling the TrackIR camera. But when I looked around at my back, there is no external IR sources whatsever. For a moment, I started thinking supernatural... Then I took a close look at the camera view in TrackIR. To my surprise, it appeared that there indeed was another IR source! I then realized that it was the image of the pro clip refracted by my spectacles...... Knowing this, the cure was easy... Keep your pro clips as far away from your spectacles as possible, and place the camera somewhere it does not see the refracted image. I have seen other people experiencing this involuntary shaking of view with TrackIR, and I suspect that the cause could be something along these lines. Hope this can help someone someday.

danilop Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) Avoid shiny eyeglasses frames as well - they are great source of specular reflections, which you clearly don't want while in front of TrackIR. If you don't have eyeglasses with matte frames at hand, get some narrow masking tape ... Edited December 15, 2013 by danilop
