Review on 3M Scotchlite Reflective Tape For Backpacks, Helmets, Bikes & Cars - High Visibility Universal Safety Tape by Bobby Lawson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Made my trackclip pro wireless to replace my trackclip which I lost

I have a TrackIR 5 that I use to play games. I lost my TrackClip (hat mounted reflectors) in a recent move. All I had left was my TrackClip Pro, which I never liked because of the wire for power. I needed wireless just like my headset has, but I didn't want to rig up some battery pack on my headset. I used small strips of this attached to the points where the LEDs are to approximate what the LEDs do for the trackclip pro (shine IR light the camera in the TrackIR picks up). They reflect the IR light from the TrackIR well enough to use the trackIR with this setup with no issues.The reflectivity is high, but not blindingly so. Just enough replicate the reflectivity of the trackclip reflectors, which is all I wanted.

Pros
  • Used as computer vision reflective target for FIRST Robotics. Reflects very well and easy to use.
Cons
  • Was really looking toward to this working so I’m really disappointed it doesn’t.
