<div>Hello,</div>
<div>Just got my MFD Cougar Pack, the select buttons does not work for numeric 1 to 4, is there a way to make select butoons 1-4 for keyboard numeric 1-4?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>

as the data extraction programs have changed...<br><br>I also got a chance yesterday to play around a bit with the facetrack<br>program, and I like it! I just grabbed a cheapie webcam I've had in a<br>box for a couple years, plugged it in and was set up ready to go in a<br>
few minutes. I did have some issues with it loosing "lock" on my face at<br>first, but this was solved by dropping a cheapie LED flashlight next to<br>the webcam to illuminate my face a bit better, as my computer setup has<br>
a lot of light behind me, but not much up front. After I did this I had<br>almost no issues with tracking.<br><br>My one gripe is that the facetrack API registers your head position<br>relative to the camera, which means for it to register 0/0/0 on the<br>
rotation axis', you have to be looking directly at the camera, which<br>means ideally the camera should be right smack in the middle of your<br>monitor. Obviously that can't happen, so I had mine set up directly<br>
below my monitor. However facetrack then registered that I was looking<br>up slightly... it didn't make too much of a difference, and with all the<br>adjustment you can do with the tracking curves I could probably just set<br>
the dead zone high enough for it to not register, but what I'd much<br>rather be able to do is calibrate it so it register 0 when my head is at<br>my normal position, and register changes from there. Of course, maybe<br>
that is possible and I'm just missing it...<br><br>Anywho, anyone looking for a VERY cheap alternative to TrackIR should<br>definitely check out facetracknoir. Cost me nuttin but a webcam I hadn't<br>used in ages anyway! lol.<br>
