Track IR & spectacles
|
|
|
| Sorry if this is a dumb question, but, would the wearing of spectacles
adversely affect the operation of Track IR as it works off reflected IR
and I would guess specs would reflect a lot of IR ie it would swamp
the IR coming off the point source(stick-on dot).
TIA
Wils.

| I believe you can put the dot right on the bridge of your spectacles,
the added benefit being you get elevated to the rank of super-dweeb at
the same time!

| You do get see some reflection back to the camera from the lens. It
doesn't seem to be a problem for me though. I had the dot on my
glasses which worked fine, but even better using the hat.

No problem here. I do, though, refuse to put the dot on my glasses or
forehead, using a hat instead. Looking at the display that shows the
reflection, glasses give very little if any reflection to the "camera"
