TheAdMan:
Why don't you look at the trackIR WITH HEADCLIP (tou tube link I posted --BINGO! Either that, or I was attempting to say "before" but it was too many letters to type--) then tell me your thoughts.
TheAdMan:
I was thinking something like this:
TheAdMan:
These leds are pretty close together compared to LCD topgun or something similar, I believe this is where their "patented math" comes into play.

Thoughts are still the same.... There's a vast diference between providing a rotate left or right instruction and providing an accurate real world gun in relation to real world physical screen surface position.
And you'd still have to have widely spaced markers or LED's on the gun. Making it impractical.
The only reason it can calculate 3D positional information is because of the spacing and difference in positional data. That's why we (the majority of people who have two eyes that is) can see in 3D. Looking at a single point (like a gun) with a single point (like a camera) will not give you positional or depth information.

No... this is where the close proximity between the head and the camera comes into play, for the system, this makes them appear to be further spaced out.
That also means that it then won't work for larger screens, or greater distances. They've already made clear to you that their system has a maximum of a five foot working distance, and this is why it does.
Their headset has a total spacing on the LED's of about 5 to 6 inches. You've still got to provide that spacing on a gun for it to even be close to working and even then with a distance limit of 5 feet, or else you need to increase the camera resolution to cope, at huge cost. Which is something else they made clear to you.

I think your just being stubborn.
those led's aren't that far apart, if you can strap them on ur head you can weild them on a gun - just like the laser on the LCD topgun - have u seen lightguns out there lately, most of them are hulking super-soaker looking things anyway.
and the trackIR does a lot more than provide left or right instruction.
