Infrared LED choice for freetrack

[jimbop]

If you are dissatisfied with your FT setup you should consider changing the IR LEDs. I started out using some cheap IR LEDs from the local electronics shop but recently changed to the famous SFH485P (bought from element14).

This has made an enormous difference. The tracking used to struggle in moderate daylight and lose sight of the LEDs when I turned my head. Now it is perfect from midnight to midday and when I fully turn. I just can't believe the difference and am fully satisfied with FT now.

My camera is a Logitech Fusion with the IR camera removed and a piece of floppy disc as a replacement filter.
