how do you guys fix your Track IR on the monitor


Recommended Posts

it may be not a big problem, but the newest monitors are more and more thinner than before, especally for the broader stand of the Track IR.The problem is, how do you gays fix your Track IR to your monitor, is there any other attachments made by yourself for better fixation of the Track IR.

 

In addition to the fixation, it's also useful to adjust the place of the Track IR camera.

 

I'm not an engineer, so I'm using a machtbox and tape:D

 

Is there any better solution?

I have a PS3 Eye Camera for head tracking and I made a "perfect fit" holder for it on my monitor with poxiline.

 

I've put on the monitor some paper tape for protection. Then fitted the camera in a stable position and then prepared the poxiline and clay-model it around the base of the camera and on the monitor. I pressed good all over it to make it enter in all areas and after I was satisfied of how it looks I let it harden. It gets hot while doing this so the monitor should be off.

 

Then I painted it in black. I removed the protection paper (it was a bit tricky to unstuck it from the place but with care it can be done) and now I can place it on the monitor very easy and it stay there perfectly because it has the shape of the monitor bezel.

 

I'll try to post some pictures (I had some on the WIP stages but they are not hosted anymore)

Velcro will work great also.

Take note though, I believe you need to make sure that the back of the camera is open, i.e. not butt up against your monitor. Else you run the risk of possible over heating. I had to replace my TIR once. I think it was because I had it taped to my monitor.

I taped my to the top of my monitor by taping the legs to the frame,

 

I tried taping it to the wall behind the monitor to allow more movement tracking.

 

I need to re-arrange my setup due to sunlight.

should i attach the Velcro on both the monitor and the IR first?

 

Yes and if you use velcro, you shouldn't need a big piece. I would use velcro, but I move my TrackIR to another monitor when I'm playing Arma II.

Oh my gosh! I believe you'v just solved all my trouble.The rear leg of the stand---that's the point. I never notice that rear part can be rotated since I bought the TIR couple of months ago. How careless I am! Thanks buddy! I'm loving this forum and DCS!
