What I don't understand is what makes the TrackIR camera different from any other camera. All cameras see IR, so what does this system do differently?

I can always use additional testers. Send me an email at the address at the end of the video.
It's not just the camera that makes it different. It's more of the product as a whole. The hardware behind the camera allows for 120 frames per second capture rate. As well has all of the software to interface with it to interface with easily.

I see...so TrackSkull is building off of the tracking data provided by the TrackIR software (ie: it isn't totally independent)?

You got it, the TrackIR software does most of the really hard stuff.

I am using the OptiTrack SDK, which is free to the public. Only the TrackIR SDK is for commercial.

This looks awesome. Animating is definitely the bottleneck in the process. It'd be great to see something speed that up.
For me, I've found the jaw movements to be the most tedious, though. There's no fun there. It's just syllable after syllable, with no oppty for character development. I know VSA lets you do WaveMotion, but it's still not quite there. It'd be great if the software could have jaw input too, but I can see how this would be more difficult.
I'd be up for helping out with the Beta testing - LOBO and I live a few miles apart.

Oh okay. I suppose they want to limit the number of support questions they get for their SDK. Or they're just selfish.

Sigh.
I *used* to work for a major computer game company, but their SDK request form didn't have a space for that.

Just thinking out loud couldn't there be a reflector placed on the jaw to record the jaw movement?and then combine that with the vsa?just a thought, maybe that wouldn't work or do anything important.

That depends on how flexible the SDK is. Is it hard wired for three reflectors?

I haven't attempted to add additional points. I believe you can go down to 1 or 2 points, but how well would ja person's jaw movement translate to a skulls jaw movement? (Sitting in a meeting right now) I can see how a person's jaw actually doesn't move very much as they speak. Hmmm....
Any thoughts?

They are really quick...
Let me package it up and send it off to you. Pretty sure I have your email address. I will try to send you the link tonight.
