TrackVision gauge overlay, more toys for the in-car vid setup Options

[nine14cats]

I've been playing with the TrackVision software that came with my Traqmate data acquisition unit that I installed in Lucille. You sync your data from the logger to the TrackVision software and you get gauges for things like RPM, speed, track position, etc. that is displayed on the video.

Take a look. Sorry about the size of the vid ~32MB, I haven't mastered the video compression yet.

I tried it again and it worked fine. I think if you zoom out so there is more track and less cockpit you'll get less whiteout. I like to see my hands on the wheel but the big black frame is messing up the cameras light setting. Maybe try taking it off Auto and play with a manual setting it might help. I like the overlay. I'll probably buy the software and give it a go. Just think, with all this technology and practice, we may end up as half assed drivers some day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the advice on the camera. This was the first event with me using a wide angle lens, so after viewing the washed out video and the small windshield area, I thought I would have to adjust the zoom. I'm trying to get my hands in the frame if possible.

Never ending tweaks!

Awesome video Bill! I thought I died and went to heaven when we got hot lap timers in car. What next? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
