Ideas for reducing the intensity of the Camera Light

Post by Xssu » Sun Sep 01, 2024 6:46 pm

Hello,

I'm looking to try and reduce the intensity of the light from the camera. My eyes are sensitive to bright lights and even with the glasses on the light is still too bright for me.

Some ideas I had were:
Would it be possible to put a light diffusion film or polarizing filter over the light? Or would this make the camera unable to detect the sticks?

Would using a color filter to change the color of the light to something less intensive work? Would the sticks still be able to be picked up by the camera?

It is possible to control the intensity of the light at all?

Hi,
No, everything you would do to decrease the intensity of your lamp will degrade the marker capture. I have a neighbour who had a problem with his lamp, it was shining just a little less bright than a normal lamp, but it was impossible to play like this. My eyes are also sensitive to bright lights, it’s even getting more bad with the years. Despite this, I’m playing Aerodrums since 2015.
What I’m doing is putting my computer on the floor as close as possible and put on a cap. Like this I don’t see any light when I look on my computer screen.

Thanks for the information!
