4.1.1 Introduction to TrackIR Enhanced
TrackIR is designed for use with games that are TrackIR Enhanced. TrackIR Enhanced games enable TrackIR to work
alongside traditional peripherals by controlling the in-game view with your actual head movement. The TrackIR is
intended for use alongside mice, keyboards and joysticks and does not replace them, though it does replace the
traditional function of a joystick's POV hat switch. A list of games and simulations that are TrackIR Enhanced can be
found on the "Titles" tab of the TrackIR version 5.x software.
New Titles are frequently being added, so check
4.1.2 Introduction to 6 DOF
There are six axes of movement in three-dimensional space, three for rotation (yaw, pitch, and roll) and three for
translation (x, y, and z). These axes are collectively termed "Six Degrees of Freedom" (6 DOF). TrackIR's three point
tracking allows all 6 DOF to be tracked, resulting in a precise correlation of actual and in-game movement.
4.1.3 Third Party Utilities
There are a number of third party utilities that work with TrackIR to bring TrackIR support to non-TrackIR Enhanced
games and simulations. These utilities are produced and maintained by parties which are not affiliated with
NaturalPoint, and no warranty or performance level is guaranteed. Compatibility with TrackIR software version 5.x is
not guaranteed. Find out more on our
4.2 Tracking Types
There are two types of tracking in the TrackIR software: one for use with the standard TrackClip and one for the
TrackClip PRO headset accessory. For information about how to change the "Tracking Target", please see section 5.7.
4.3 Camera Status LED indicators
The TrackIR camera has status LEDs which give you visual cues about the status of the TrackIR software. Use the
following key to interpret what the state and color of the status LEDs mean:
TrackIR 5
Left Green : A clip IS being tracked.
Right Green : A TrackIR Enhanced Title IS running and has registered with the TrackIR software to receive
tracking data.
Both Green : A clip IS being tracked, and a TrackIR Enhanced Title IS running and has registered with the
TrackIR software to receive tracking data.
Both Orange : TrackIR is paused
Both Off : A clip is NOT being tracked, and a TrackIR Enhanced Title is NOT running or registered.
