4. Using the TrackIR

TrackIR is a head tracking input device designed for use with gaming and simulation PC titles. It is an infrared camera that
tracks the position of your head using one of two track clips. The standard TrackClip, which attaches to the brim of a hat or
visor, has three reflective markers that direct infrared light back to the camera. The TrackClip PRO, which attaches to most
PC headsets, comes with active LED markers that send infrared light directly to the camera.
TrackIR can use either of these clips to find the position and orientation of your head and then send that data to any of the
100+ TrackIR Enhanced games and simulations. As a result, you can control your in-game view with your actual head
movement in three-dimensional space. It is easy to use, and many users can get up and running without ever opening the
manual. However, the information provided below can ensure that you get the most out of your investment in TrackIR.

4.1 Getting Started

Before using your TrackIR gaming controller you should make sure to have all software and hardware properly installed
as described in chapter 3. Once the software is installed, you can begin using your TrackIR by doing the following:
Place the TrackIR on a surface directly in front of your face, and as close to level with the top of your head as
possible. This is usually best accomplished by placing the unit on top of your computer monitor. If using a
laptop, the TrackIR can be clipped to the top of your screen.
