Hello all,

I configure 3 dot cap which is tracked by Nintendo RVL-CNT-01 wii on Windows 7.

Althogh it offres 6DOF track I have some practical problems which I cannot imagine the reason.

1- the tracking is too much dynamic and out put is cumbersome. And dots are not stable.

2- Sometimes it detects additional DOT, but can't imagine where it comes from.

3- I cannot turn left-right my head as dots are getting invisible.

So the results are not good as expected. Where I have gone wrong?
- Does my assembly diamentions are incorrect
- Curve adjesment or
- Threasold value ? Any idea is really helpful..

I would think you are using a narrow beam LED based on the pictures.
A suggestion that will help, is to use IR LEDs like the Osram SH485P.

What LEDs are you using?

I am unable to find out 'Osram SH485P LED. Hence I use typical IR leds and I asked about that in other thread. But they said it wont be a problematic.

Does 4-Cap model is better than 3-Cap?

And I have seen precreated caps. It looks like they havent much care about the diamentions. Do we really need presice diamention for the model ?

In hand book mesurements are only available for 4-cap models. Howevr this is my hardware implementation.

No.

Either.

I don't think so. But I'm not sure you're using the right  model-setup.
The head mount can vary from the default dimensions, but you have to set-up the real dimensions in the "Model" section.
And choose the right model:

First pic shows a "3-Points-Clip", second a "3-Points-Cap" setup.
Your cap is 3-Points'Cap.
Then measure the real dimension of the LED position on cap and set them up in the "Model-Dimensions" section.
Don't forget the "Model Position":

You can increase the beam angle of the LEDs by flatten them out with sandpaper like this:
