Hi.
This is my 3-point model:
Posted Image

I use it for IL2: 1946, and it works perfectly !

U´ll notice that this design uses the same positions and distances
between the LEDs like theyre used at the basic 3-point cap model.
But the LEDs are place about 90mm closer the the head then it is
at the standard cap designs.

There are no limitations at movement detection between this design
and the orignal 3-point cap design.
This design reduces the risk of leaving the cameras viewing angle !
So this design is more reliable then the standard cap designs,
with same accuracy and  expanded head movement zone !

(no, i didnt have to chance settings in free-track, it works fine with
a standard - IL2 - profile and the standard free-track 3-point cap presets)

Hello guys,

   When I found FreeTrack as being a *free* head tracking system, I was so excited that started right away to work on a point model. So here's what I've came up with.

The base of the design is a cheapo-mostly-plastic tripod for photo-cameras, bought from the local Dollarama store. The resistors are hidden inside the rods (tubes), which are wrapped in black PVC tape because these rods are shiny, and produce a lot of parasite light. I don't like the tape being used like that, so I'm searching for an alternative - some type of light, matte-black tubes, made out of foam or some other elastic material.

The tripod is then attached to the cap with a single screw; the ON-button attaches with its own screw, and the battery pack is stitched. So, overall, easy to move to a different support, though I don't intend to; I like this cap  B)

Cheers.

had some problems but ended up replacing my usb power cord and reversing the polarities on the LEDS (no idea why the longer was the positive)

Here's my point model. When I get my hands on a better camera I'll post some nicer pics.

Simple 3 point cap(less) model, powered by an AC adapter. Works perfectly as far as I can tell. If anyone's interested I'll be happy to share construction info.

^^ Very nicely done Lepus.

And here is my first attempt........

I have since had to extend the led's forward to have them point in same direction and all is OK. Will make a Ver 2.0 soon, will be much neater........software is only hiccup now

Deimos @ 08/01/2008 - 00h48 a dit:

Since the 4-point setup is now considered obsolete, i finally got around to building something to replace my 4-point LED cap, only this time i decided to go for reflective setup.
So, here's my newest creation - effect of mixing 1 DVD box, some reflective tape from 3M, about 3 hours, and two burned fingers :P
Posted Image
Of course to make it work, my IR-modified labtec webcam needed some illumination:
Posted Image
And the same with LEDs off.
And a few pictures of how it looks like trough th webcam (minimal gain, 1/33sec exposure - settings i usually use with freetrack):
Picture1, picture2, picture3, picture4
I didn't do ingame testing yet, just tried it out in FT control panel, and it seems to work fine, especially after reducing webcam resolution (so that the points are smaller).



Does the use of reflective surfaces works in game?? Asking because I am about to begin making myself a new Clip, and not really comfortable with electronics..

And plus, the above one looks easier.. :D

I'm looking for some double sided circuit board now - what's your power-source, resistor value, etc.? How did you cut the board?

Cheers
Nils

It is connected to USB 5v
Resistor parametres depend on diodes..
The connection scheme - page 13 manual "doc_led"
Clip cut out by means of "Dremel"

It is possible to use this tool

First, excuse my English, will use a translation software. ;-)

A friend followed the details of the site that I did to help in assembling using adhesives.
http://www.nilojr.com.br -> "Projetos DIY" -> "Track-IR"
(site em português)

Put out the photos he sent me to give you a look.
Great stuff, can of soda used to make the media convex and adhesives for hard-rider.
The capture card is a Pixelview PlayTV and camera tracking an equal to that use.
