Is anybody using or has anybody thought of using TrackIR with
a video goggle/visor system?

Such as this:

anyone ever try a fresnel lense on their pc screen? soposedly its pretty amazing. cheaper than a head mounted display too, ultamately track ir and a hmd would be the best system you could get, depending on resoution. A fresnal lense gives alot of deapth soposedly and makes the illusion of a bigger screen. Probably hard on your eyes after a while tho:O

Red Top once you've got your new toy up and working, please report back with your pros and cons.

I would like HTC to give possibility in View Options screen to disable the reversed head movement from Relative Move option.

Otherwise it works just as I like but the reversed head movement while looking backwards feels too strange.

It already exists.

Back in the Warbirds Convention days, a few guys brought their Fresnel Lens setups, which were interesting to say the least.

There really was a good sense of depth and 3d effects, BUT:

1. You had to have your nose practically touching the screen, meaning you sort of had to hunch over.

2. You know those stereo-dot 3d posters that were all the rage a few years ago? You had to sort of de-focus your eyes and try to look off "in the distance" and then you would see the 3d image? Well, you sort of have to do the same thing with a fresnel lens for maximum effect.

3. Combining 1 and 2 could easily result in quite a heacache. Perhaps you could get used to it over time.

"you can switch this in setup"

And where if I may ask?

"Otherwise it works just as I like but the reversed head movement while looking backwards feels too strange."

As I said while looking backwards the view moves to wrong direction. If I move my head to left the rear view moves to right and vice versa.

Charge, disable the Relative Move thingy. Your X and Y movements will be locked relative to your current yaw, not relative to the aircraft. Is that what yer talking about?

Charge · « **Reply #29 on:** December 10, 2005, 08:17:07 AM »

I mean I want the view to be relative to my actual movement so that if I'm crouched forward and look back my virtual head in positioned likewise in the cocpit. The problem is the reversed head movement while looking backwards.
