Hi,

I have FreeTrack working pretty good with a PS Eye but it only works in complete darkness.
I bought a film and exposed it to light, but the IR LEDs of the TrackClip Pro don't penetrate it at all.

Have a 3.5 floppy disk around? Crack open the case, cut out a piece of the "film". IR LEDs should go through without issue.
