Use this drop-down menu to select the device used for head tracking. CLA Nx can track head movement from two 
sources: 

Camera

 and 

Nx Head Tracker

C

AMERA

activates the computer’s camera for head tracking. If more 

than one camera is available, choose from the list. 

N

H

EAD 

T

RACKER

 selects the Nx Head Tracker that will be used 

by CLA Nx. Choose one Head Tracker from the list.  
The 

S

ENSOR 

F

USION

 mode uses the selected camera and one of 

the available Nx Head Trackers together. Using these two kinds of 
sensors simultaneously yields a tracking rate of up to 80 fps. 

The 

S

ETTINGS

 

button takes you to the HeadTracker application’s control 

panel. Use it to reopen the application if it has been closed or if you want 
to tweak certain Head Tracker controls.  

C

ALIBRATE 

defines your head position as the center position. Hold your head centered, look straight forward, and 

click the button to let the system know where your center listening position is. Each time you start the system or 
change either your position or the camera’s placement, you can recalibrate. 

R

ATE

 indicates the rate of head tracking in frames per second (fps). The optimal rates are: 

Camera: 25 fps to 30 fps 
Nx Head Tracker: 35 fps to 50 fps 
Sensor Fusion: 45 fps to 80 fps 

 

Please note

: The Sensor Fusion mode can be used by only one person at a time. That is, the camera must be 

aimed at the person who is wearing the Nx Head Tracker.
