ipisoft.com :: View topic - typing in fields, please

is to be able to type in values into fields and not be forced to use a silly slider way of getting parameters into the fields; for example in Studio, the camera control; I want to type in the exact height of the kinect camera into a field that says X,Y,Z not just slide the cursor over the move button, also Heading, Pitch and Bank, (which you call Pan/tilt/orbit for some reason) needs to have exact control not fiddling around with a slider. All numeric fields in the software needs a typing function, not just slide-overs.

Also in recorder: why do I have to fiddle with the pitch control to tilt the kinect camera, why cant I just type in the angle value?

Hi One (amongst many) request is to be able to type in values into fields and not be forced to use a silly slider way of getting parameters into the fields; for example in Studio, the camera control; I want to type in the exact height of the kinect camera into a field that says X,Y,Z not just slide the cursor over the move button, also Heading, Pitch and Bank, (which you call Pan/tilt/orbit for some reason) needs to have exact control not fiddling around with a slider. All numeric fields in the software needs a typing function, not just slide-overs. Also in recorder: why do I have to fiddle with the pitch control to tilt the kinect camera, why cant I just type in the angle value? This is basic functionality to provide a user with more accurate and speedy control, hopefully you guys can implement things like this fairly quickly? Rob

Also in recorder: why do I have to fiddle with the pitch control to tilt the kinect camera, why cant I just type in the angle value? For many users, it's more convenient to position cameras based on visual feedback than measuring exact values of angles/offsets. "Sliding" controls are good enough for this case. However, we do understand that our software's UI needs further improvements. We appreciate your feedback. Indeed, for some values it is more intuitive to just enter exact values. For example, in Studio - setting scene scale after calibration through specifying 1st camera height, or in Recorder - record delay seconds.
