I think this year's reflective system is much better than the Lunacy system. The cylinder was pretty much impossible to calibrate under harsh lighting. So, going forward, I think that the GDC knows enough about it now to make it so vision tracking is achievable.
I couldn't agree more about the Retro-reflective tape. The only other targets we have been given that had anywhere nearly as tractability were the green lights in Aim High.
