With a blob size of 1 pixel was there any decrease in the tracking reliability? If you move the camera (or the target) would it reliably stay locked on? I only ask because I'm interested to find out how small a blob the camera will track. Its great that you all have been able to make it work out of the box and is really due to Kevin Watson's hard work.
