You may care or you may not, still it's good thing to know who are you dealing with.

Great a website that singles out Naturalpoint for doing things that pretty much every major company does... and your point is!

Personally I have tried freetrack, freetracknoir and both I found inferior to Trackir.

Freetrack with PS Eye here.

Same tracking quality as TrackIR.

hey Lobisomem, does the ps eye have infrared leds inbuilt???cause i would prefer to use my trackir clip(reflector) and the cap, instead of having leds on my head...

is the difference really that big? i mean i only owned trackir5, and it definitely worked perfect for me...but i have no glue how trackir4 is working.

So big as I had issues of loosing track with a 4 that I never experienced with a 5. The increased fps of the 5 is noticeable too. Worth it? It only depends on how much money is a factor.

S!

Same here, up to 186 fps in the latest "CL-Eye" driver, but 140fps do the trick ;-). Using a track clip (too lazy to do one myself).

Offtopic: my HD7850 2GB arrived just hours ago (my HD6870 died). CloD is very nice now, performance-wise, or i should say that my new VGA is awesome, and the bad programming of CloD don't affect it too much ;-)

so the normal track clip from track ir does work with the ps 3 eye?
i dont have the track clip pro, but the reflector thing which you put on a cap...

European warranty is two years for Law.
If you bought it in Eu you can ho to your reseller and ask for replacement or repair.

I have a freetrack setup with a modded ps3 eye and a selfbuilt 'track clip pro'.

It works ok for me, had a few issues with getting it to work, had to use a specific driver version and a hotfix.

The only issue i currently have is that i have to ajust brightness and gain every time i start the application.

I chose to keep the resolution at 640x480 since with 75fps since it feels less jittery than 320x240 at 120 fps.

Honestly can't compare it to TrackIR5 since i've never used it. However compared to FaceTrackNoIR, it's far superrior.

Yeah, faceteacknoir was what I tested with my ps3 eye, I was not impressed.
