Hi,

 

Since I didn´t find any topic that explains what you need to do to fix Table bumps when using Head Tracking, I decided to write this post.

 

I use Kinect v1 (Xbox 360) for head tracking. The setup that worked for me was put Kinect below the DMD and Backglass with 15 degrees up (you can change up to 27 degrees)

 

I only found a solution for bumps in some tables the day I went to the manual configuration of BAM Player Tracking. In Future Pinball you need to increase the value of Jittering Filter. To go there:

1. Start a table

2. Press Q

3. Select Config menu

4. Select Player Tracking menu

5. Change the Filtering to "Manual"

6. Increase the value for "Jittering Filter"

      in my case, i changed Range to 200 and Exponent to 2

 

THis config works for Future Pinball and Visual Pinball 10.8 as well. Now the head tracking in VPX works like a charm. It´s a huge difference in terms of experience and table visualization. It looks like another table. I truly recommend to buy a Kinect and try it.

 

Hope it helps someone.

Hi  I've been using head tracking for quite a while with the original Kinect.  Never heard of table bumps before. Can you explain them, maybe I have them and don't know it. Thanks for the info on jitter. Didn't know that setting existed either. guessing this is an educational post for me. Thnx

@mbp27 Great tip. Tables bumped like crazy in VPX 10.8 until I've entered your values in the Jitter filter. Now it is rock solid.

I'm still searching for the perfect POV settings to get a realistic 3D effect with head tracking. The different places where I can set POV/table settings are quite confusing. There are the table settings in the VPX video preferences, the new POV settings in VPX 10.8 (key F10), the head tracking settings in VPX (key Q) and the settings in Future Pinball that set some basics for VPX as well.

Some seem to do similar things like setting table size/position or angle.

Could you do me a favor and post the values you've set in Future Pinball and VPX for head tracking for a table that works well for you? A few pictures shot with your phone of the different adjustment panels would be sufficient.

I'd like to have a good starting point.

Thanks.
