Just came across this today. It's like TrackIR, but rather than tracking
some IR device, it actually just tracks your face!

Might just have to give this a shot.... It's free, so no risk! It would
be very cool if it does work as advertised.

Just had a quick look at it, and with the FS2004 protocol (using FSUIPC)
it seems to work pretty well.. I need to put it on something better than
ye olde laptop to really try it out though.



It handles yaw pitch and roll really well, and looks like it supports
XYZ movement as well.. interesting find!

I'd heard murmuring about this, but I didn't realize they were this far
along. I'll have to check it out at some point. Thanks for the link
Brian!

That is pretty cool, but is this for a set of LCD goggles or something? If
you are using a single monitor and you turn your head to look out the side
window, obviously, you won't be able to see the screen. And if you are using
a set up like Gene's, you don't need it anyway.

No, it's for a regular monitor, it's just using your head as a
controller. My understanding is you're not turning your head all that
far - just enough to make it understand you're looking
left/right/up/down etc.

I don't have a webcam on my PC at the moment so I haven't had a chance
to try it out yet. Will definitely be giving it a shot soon!

I don't want a web cam on my PC Brian! LOL

But I suppose you can adjust the sensitivity of it all. If you check it out,
please let us know how it works.
