- lower the camera FOV to 56 deg; note one of two camera types are unable to work other than 75 deg.
- use brighter LEDs.
- use auto-threshold always. set it to slightly bigger (15 to 20%) pixel size than your LEDs.
- for red LEDs, select "red only" in PT settings. if you have blue LEDs, report it as a bug and they'll be implemented.
- bigger LEDs on the image are better than smaller LEDs. avoid zero gain, it works worse.
- play with camera gain until getting white LEDs with not much noise, and without excessive light bloom. always use full exposure, only change gain.
- use a floppy filter as a circle stuffed from outside toward the camera lenses. may also use non-exposed analog camera film. bright background details may confuse the tracker about the point centers.
- set color correction to all the same values, don't mess around with them at all.
- never use 320x240. don't use 75 Hz for 640x480 as it corrupts the image. only 60 Hz and below give a clean image.
- never use "smoothing". it's gone in 2.4.0 and it doesn't work like you think.
- don't exceed a deadzone of 0.06.
- set rotation sensitivity to between 0.35 and 0.45
- longer input range for yaw and pitch will make the movement move smooth overall, but it depends on sitting distance, screen size, and general comfort.
- don't rely on "smoothing" at all. It's being removed. Only sensitivity (renamed to smoothing) and deadzone exist. It's completely gone in the next stable release (2.4.0).
