Bring flightsim headtracking to the next level with the TrackIR2 which is now available from eDimensional. With the TrackIR2 flightsimmers can use natural head movements to look around their flightsim environment, freeing hands up for flying the plane. 

 November 3rd 2003. eDimensional, the industry leader in virtual simulation game control systems announces the release of the next generation game controller, the TrackIR2(tm). With the award-winning TrackIR2(tm) head tracking system, gamers use natural head motion to look around their virtual environment without ever looking away from the screen, freeing up precious joystick buttons and mouse axes for other uses.

The TrackIR2(tm) at a blazingly fast 100 frames per second has almost twice the frame rate and 4x the data throughput of the previous model, the TrackIR. This means greater accuracy and smoother movement in-game, and makes the TrackIR2(tm) more compatible with the high refresh rates and resolutions of state-of-the-art computer monitors.

Jim Richardson, TrackIR2's creator says, "Now, with the TrackIR2's blistering speed and razor-sharp accuracy, TrackIR2(tm) can bring new levels of immersion and excitement to the premier flight simulators as well as a much wider variety of games."

TrackIR2's new features include:

 

  • Full USB hot plug capability
  • USB suspend mode compatible
  • New image display system with colored objects
  • Cool new case
  • Upgradeable system for future enhancements (such as multi-TrackIR displays)

Improvements over the current generation system include:

 

  • High speed digital imager (100 FP/S) a full 66% increase
  • 4X image data throughput
  • Improved smoothing algorithm
  • Increased background/sunlight image tolerance
  • Improved installation procedure
