The TrackIR 5 is an infrared camera that sits on your monitor and follows a clip you wear, turning head movement into in-game view movement. The Ultra Pack is the version that comes with both clips: the powered TrackClip Pro and the reflective TrackClip.
It reads all six degrees of freedom, yaw, pitch and roll plus movement on the X, Y and Z axes, so leaning in to read a gauge and glancing across the cockpit are separate inputs rather than one blurred one.
The TrackClip Pro is the reason to take this pack over the Pro Pack. It carries its own infrared LEDs and takes power over USB, so the camera is reading a light source instead of a reflection. In a bright room, or with a window behind you, that is the difference between tracking that holds and tracking that drops out.
It is a Windows PC device, and support comes from each title rather than from the camera. NaturalPoint lists more than 100 TrackIR Enhanced games and simulators.
A headset gives you head movement and stereo depth, and it also puts a screen on your face. TrackIR gives you the head movement and leaves you looking at your own monitors, your own instruments and your own keyboard.
That is the trade, and it is a real choice rather than a cheaper substitute. Pilots who fly with charts, a second screen or a physical cockpit in front of them tend to run TrackIR instead of VR, not alongside it.
It also asks nothing of your graphics card, because it is a camera rather than two more displays to render.
The reflective TrackClip bounces the camera's own infrared back at it. The TrackClip Pro emits its own instead, through active LEDs, drawing power over USB with a pass through so you do not lose the port.
Emitting rather than reflecting is what makes it steadier when the light is against you: a bright room, a window behind your head, or a lamp in the camera's view. NaturalPoint rates the Pro clip from 61 cm to 152 cm, which covers a desk and most of a rig.
It clips to a headset band above the left ear, in two positions, and fits bands up to about 32 mm wide and 13 mm thick. The reflective clip is still in the box, so you can go back to it if you would rather not run a cable to your head.
The sensor is 640 x 480, but NaturalPoint reports position to 1/150th of a pixel, giving a reporting resolution of 96,000 x 72,000 across a 51.7 degree field of view.
That subpixel figure is why the view holds still when your head does, and why a small movement reads as a small movement instead of nothing. Coarse tracking fails at both ends: it jitters when you are still and ignores you when you move slightly.
Sample rate is 120 fps with a 9 ms response time, so the view arrives with the head turn rather than behind it.
Six degrees of freedom means three rotations, yaw, pitch and roll, and three positions, X, Y and Z, each reported on its own axis rather than blended together.
In practice that is the difference between turning your head towards a mirror and leaning forward to put your eye closer to an instrument. A tracker that only reads rotation cannot tell those apart.
NaturalPoint's software sets a curve per axis, so the view can swing a long way for a small turn while the lean stays closer to one to one. The default profile suits nobody in particular, so expect to spend time in there on the first day.
The camera sits on a magnetically attached base with adjustable legs that grip the bezel of a monitor or TV. No screws, nothing permanent, and moving it to another screen takes seconds.
The magnet does more than save time. The camera lifts off the base without moving the base, so it can come off and go back on without resetting where the view points.
Mount it centred above the screen you actually look at. On a triple-screen rig that is the middle panel rather than the physical centre of the array.
“If you are choosing between the packs, the question is what your room is like rather than how serious you are. In a dim room with the light in front of you, the reflective clip in the cheaper pack is fine and you will not feel short-changed. If you have a window behind your head or a bright lamp anywhere near the camera, buy this one, because reflected tracking is exactly what that defeats. The honest downside of the Pro clip is the cable to your head, and some people never get used to it.”
Blake Sterling, CEO & Founder, Gamer Gear Direct
Mount the base on the monitor, put the camera on it, plug the USB in and clip one of the two clips on. The part that actually matters is the software, where you set the response curve for each axis. Budget twenty minutes for that rather than two.
Support is built into each title rather than into the camera, so it depends what you run. NaturalPoint lists more than 100 TrackIR Enhanced games and simulators, and most major flight and combat sims have supported it for years. Check theirs before you order, or tell us what you fly and we will confirm it.
It clips to a headset band above the left ear and fits bands up to about 32 mm wide and 13 mm thick, in two positions. Most over-ear gaming headsets are inside that. If yours is not, the reflective clip and a cap or visor is the fallback, and it is in the box.
The reflective TrackClip bounces the camera’s infrared back and needs no power. The TrackClip Pro emits its own through active LEDs and draws power over USB with a pass through. Emitting is the more reliable of the two when there is light behind your head. Both are in this pack.
NaturalPoint rates the TrackClip Pro from 61 cm to 152 cm, which covers a desk and most of a rig. The camera also has a 51.7 degree field of view, so the clip has to stay in frame as well as in range.
You stop spending a thumb on a hat switch. Checking a mirror, clearing the nose on approach or looking into a corner becomes the head movement you were going to make anyway, and both hands stay where they were.
The camera is 51 x 38 x 14.5 mm without the base, so it sits above the bezel rather than across the picture. The base has adjustable legs that grip the top edge of a monitor or TV.
It is a USB camera running a small piece of software, not another display to render, so it asks far less of a graphics card than a headset does. A Windows PC that already runs your simulator will run this.
