There is a DIY trick where they draw red and blue on tape to make a UV torch, do the same but with brown and violet on your webcam and you can use a plain white led instead of IR
@@tp3537 Yeah, resistors are really cheap since they're so extremely common. From the biggest place in my country for buying electronics, you can get 4.7 Ohm resistors for the equivalent of 10 US cents a piece. 5 cents if you order more than 10'000 of them.
These specific IR-LEDs are a nuisance as they are one of only a very few LEDs that use reverse polarity config - normally all LEDs have the longer leg as the anode (+). Best check polarity first with phone cam in case the IR-LEDs you buy are standard polarity.
4:39 When I bought the camera, I was afraid there would be a difference in FOV between the two versions. I now have both versions and I can easily say that there is no difference in FOV value.
Quick question, I found some LED's, but how much does the viewing angle matter? The one's you showed are 40 degrees, while I found 30 degree one's, and I'd assume the more the better if you want to turn your head a lot
Hello, I apologize for the question, but I can not identify the differences between the models of the camera in order to avoid one or the other (minute 4:41 ) I also seem to understand that any of them can suit the needs of the detection. What if I end up with the "bad" one?
You should 100% use the resistor. It is not to limit the voltage, an LED has a forward voltage and it will not take more but it is to limit the current. Any voltage left after the forward voltage will get dissipated as heat through the current limiting resistor and anything else connected in series loike your USB port. These LEDs have a current rating of 100mA so in series that is 300mA. Using Ohms law R = V/I so R = 0.5(the voltage drop across the resistor is total 5v minus the 3 leds)/0.3 which is 1.67Ohms resistance. That is the smallest resistance you should use (the 5 Ohm resistance you are advised to use gives you a total of 100mA). Just to give you an idea of the current if your resistance is just the wire you use, looks like very thin maybe 32 gauge at about 1 meter so roughly 0.6ohm. I = 0.5/0.6 = 0.83A. That is almost 3 times the maximum for these LEDs, plus as they get hotter from the current the current draw will change. This is ok for a USB 3.0 just about (normally 0.9A max) but USB 2.0 is only rated for 0.5A.
@@skate4news658 just a correction on a mistake on my post, 3 LED's in series would not stack to 300mA (parallel would stack but series resistance is same throughout he series circuit). You will want a resistor value that will give you about 80 to 90% of the maximum current rating for the LEDs you are using. So for the 100mA limit keep it to lets say 85mA, they have a voltage drop (the SFH485P LED) of 1.5V. So 3 LEDs in series will drop 4.5V. Assuming your USB is actually supplying 5V that leaves 0.5V which will drop across your resistor. 0.5V/0.085A = 5.9 Ohms resistor. the power dissipated across that resistor is 0.085*0.5 = P = 42.5mW so a quarter watt resistor should be fine.
I made mine with a rechargeable battery so I had less voltage and had to use a parallel circuit and dissipate some more voltage with bigger resistors and an extra silicone diode.

i use flat lens version and it work very well even with cheaper IR LED Emitters (with lesser FOV). no need to open it and remove IR filter. you can install floppy film outside also.
I've done this stuff a lot...You need the right type of PS3 eye camera. If the outer lens is flat, it wont work. The IR filter is embedded between lenses. The concave/x design is good to go and you can peel off the ir filter.
If anyone is looking for a floppy disk in 2021. Stop. Instead, go to a thrift store and find a VHS tape. They're far more abundant and the film is basically identical.
I am using trackIR for many years, starting with IR4 when it came out and recently upraded to IR5... never heard of the possibiliry to DIY the sensor/camera before.. i have a nice clip now without cable and a battery/powerbank attached to it and was proud of it but yours is next level. Nice work
Just put the floppy disk film in the front of the lens and it should have the same effect. Less labor and if you want to use the camera for anything else, it's ready.
Hi Seytonic! Loved the vid! Was thrilled find out I didn't have to pay 150 for head-tracking. That said, I just finished putting my own frame together but am having significant problems! I mean..the frame works fine...but the PS3 Eye, even with the CL Eye software, is going undetected in games! I can see the camera working in the CL Eye Test and the opentrack software...but everywhere else (War Thunder, Star Citizen, Skype) it seems its invisible! The CL Eye website doesn't seem to be maintained very well anymore--recent forum posts are all spam. So I thought maybe it was worth asking if you're familiar with this problem and, if so, perhaps with a fix...?
So I just built this, camera works fine, I plugged the clip in to test yesterday and it was fine, plugged it in today and it waited a couple of seconds before making the same sound as a fly being electrocuted! Luckily I have another set of emitters and a bit of time on my hands, but can anyone say they've done this without resistors and it's still working. I'm thinking it was a short circuit, but I could be wrong.
Question: I've got a PS3 Eye with the IR filter removed, but it still lets through visible light. I've got some old floppy disks that should do the trick. Do I have to open up the camera, or can I just cut out a circle and place it in front of the lens? I'd rather not mess with the insides if I can help it.
yes basically you can use any webcam you want, but the higher fps can go your webcam, the better. You can easily remove the IR filter in most webcam. You can see in the video that the default FPS value is 60FPS so.. And in fact you probably will be able to increase the framerate by lower the resolution (shouldn't affect too much the tracking). But for the price of the ps3 Eye... you can't go wrong!
i thought so . my main problem is I live in a place with no shipping or Ebay or amazon , so i have to get creative on my own. thanks for the great info
I bought the "bad" camera thinking it was the "good" camera. I dug out what I thought was the IR filter. It is not the IR filter! Is this camera useless or will it work for this application still?
Yeah, that's what one version of the actual TrackIR does. If you also don't have a PS Eye camera you could try using a wii remote. They use basically the same technology as this, but require some software to work as far as I'm aware.
hello i have almost completed the setup. Removed IR filter but couldnt find anything to block the visible light. When i start the software, it detects a lot of crazy sources apart from LEDs. Is it something because i dont have a visible light filter ?

Each time I turn it on and start using it, it begins to act really jittery and does not seem to turn very consistently.

Yes, other people have successfully used different IR LEDs. However, most people use these, as they scatter the light relatively broadly and are bright, so its easier for the camera to pick them up.
Please help me understand, if i got the better ps3 camera witch i do (curved lens one) i have to remove the ir filter like in the clip from the description, or i only have to add the light filter ??
With the other version of the cameras you can use a replacement lens, which you can buy online.....which is what i had to do because the correct version of the camera doesn't exist around me for some reason, CEX has them in for .25p each, Think theres still a terrible video about the nightmare I had on my channel.......
you can also use photo film. on developed films there usually is a portion that is completely black, two layers of that block visible light while letting IR pass.
Why did i watch all the other tutorials that told me "JUST REMOVE THE IR FILTER!!!", and only after I destroyed my PS3 Camera I get to see this video and be told that it is impossible with the bad version :(
i'vew done everything u show in this video but still can't setting my trackir, once started opentruck,start moving head but everytime one or two led disappear from the black screen
Might be because the angle of your IR LEDs is too narrov. If you use them as they come, that is sometimes the case. I've seen some poeple using sandpaper on the plastic front of the LED in order to make it so the light scatters more broadly.
