Guns ... Today's Views?

SithMaster:

Wouldn't four leds in each corner of the tv provide the best method of tracking?  I don't remember if it was mentioned in the aim track announcement topic and well thats like 15 pages so yeah.

Wow, that's good to know.  I would have expected the wide angle to result in some other trade-off performance problems. 

pinballjim:

Well, let's all do a little more testing before we get too excited about it.  But, in my limited experience, there was no difference in performance except I could be closer to the screen.  Anyway, the lenses are less than a buck shipped on ebay so it's worth a shot if you already have a Top Gun.





yotsuya:

I'm going to try it in my AimTrak just to see what happens. If it doesn't work, I'll give it some anyone here with a Top Gun.

BadMouth:

Has anyone done testing as to how the size of the screen affects performance of IR guns?

For example, if the guns work well at 6ft on a 21" screen, would they work just as well on a 46" screen standing 6 ft away?
(using the same IR bar which doesn't change size)
