The webcam compatibility guide is located here.

Please post a review of your webcam in this thread so that the guide can be updated and extended accordingly.

Microspot TravelCam

- bon marché (30 CHF, 20 €)
- env. 30 fps si bien réglée
- Fonctionne beaucoup mieux en enlevant le filtre IR et même sans "négatif" photo ! Sinon, pas assez de lumière (trop de latence et perte fps)
- Bon champ de vue (pas de perte du tracking lors de mouvement normaux)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- low price (30 CHF, 20 €)
- about 30 fps if well regulated
- Works much better if the IR film is removed, even whitout film pellicule !
Unless, there isn't enough light (to much latency and loss of fps)
- Good field of view (no loss of tracking with normal movements)

Microsoft VX-1000 works great

No IR filter required - only runs at 20fps however I set res to 320x240 and Average=1 with 4 led version and it is very responsive.

mine is Logitech Quickcam IM

low priced (<$25)

it runs on average >25 FPS on my rig

good field of view(i find that putting your webcam further to the back gets you greater field of view and tracking accuracy)

Manual Focus(always great in my book)

great tracking capabilities on medium light

I'd recommend it for use with Freetrack.

in case you are wondering here's my rig spec

Intel P4 640 3.2 Ghz
1 GB RAM DDR2

very happy with it! oh and thanks for the guys that has made free track I'd try to contribute as much as i could, again thanks.
