Class : Apprenti Posts : 4 Registered on : 16/02/2012 Off line	I am using a flashlight mounted on my headset as I have seen others do to achieve a single point track. I cannot figure out how to get up and running. Below is a screenshot of what is going on. Any help is appreciated! http://min.us/mbkXfLEY9o

I dont see it in the webcam image. you gotta be sure that the light of the flashlight is the only thing to be seen, because then FreeTrack can distinguish it from the image the webcam gives. if it sees all these other lights, then it does not know which to pick. This can be achieved by lowering the treshold. Did you also remove the IR filter and added a visual light filter?

It's common for FreeTrack to use IR light and then filter all visual light. but when you use a big visual light source and can put the treshold in such a way Freetrack only sees that light, it might work

FreeTrack only distinguishes seperate light dots in the image, no matter IR light or visual. Edited by Ezraneut on 16/02/2012 at 10h40.

Class : Apprenti Posts : 4 Registered on : 16/02/2012 Off line	Oh so Freetrack automatically determines if my flashlight is IR or Real Light? You made it sound like I had to "Enable" real light somewhere in the program.
