Benefit of trackir is computation being done partially in the device/camera (as opposed to diy clips, which I use for my flight sims).
There have recently been some cameras released that don’t require ir-clips and offload the computer some, but feels =\ having a webcam requiring constant camera and/or tracking.
But for games it’s great and already in use.
- dTal 4y agoIs it though? My understanding was that TrackIR was nothing more than an IR webcam surrounded by IR LEDs, that also served as a dongle for the freely downloadable "driver" which contained all the tracking code. With OpenTrack, a webcam with the IR filter removed, and a 3d-printed clip, I get results indistinguishable from TrackIR. A system that uses a visual light camera and no reflector clip will inevitably be slower, as it is a much harder computer vision task. But I don't think hardware acceleration comes into it anywhere.
