DW2020 Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 Hey Guys, Curious to hear what you are using for head tracking if you use it? I have tried "TrackNOIR" which utilises a regular webcam and considering how cheap it is (£2.25 for the software) it works pretty good but wanted to see what other option are out there and whetehr they work any better? Cheers Rattler21
Rudel_chw Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 I use the same, FacetrackNoir ... but with a Sony ps3eye webcam, modified with an ir filter.

Oldahpilot Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 How do U provide the light source? DeLan clip is a very lightweight device that Velcro's on to the side of headphones and provides 3 red LEDs for the Sony camera to track with Face track Noir software, think I paid around £45 for the Camera and clip. Works great for DCS, FSX etc..

Plastic Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) I use a PS3 eye camera mounted on a plastic monitor clip with a piece of exposed 35mm negative in front, a delan clip attached to my headset and opentrack. The PS3 cameras needs a special driver CLeye. Its a great setup. The delan clip is worth the money and has lasted ages as has the PS3 camera.. https://delanengineering.com https://github.com/opentrack https://codelaboratories.com/products/eye/driver/ Regards Plastic..

Callsign.Vega Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 I haven't found anything that works nearly as well as TrackIR 5 with a three point IR transmitter. And you don't need a bright room either...

Dr_Wigglespank Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 If you're comfortable doing it yourself, there are lots of tutorials & info available on building your own. I picked up a PS3 Eye, IR LEDs, resistors & a couple of battery cases for less than $30 (all from Ebay). Spent an afternoon assembling a hat & modding the cam and I have a perfectly working tracking system. I'm using Opentrack for the software. This is my first head tracking system, so I can't say how it compares to TrackIR, but I'm very happy with the results and it works exactly as I expected. If you're interested, I'd be happy to share all of the links & info I have.
IamTinCan Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 I tried to buy the TrackNoIR last night but when I tried to pay using PayPal it says that I'm not allowed to buy it because of international regulations. I'm in Singapore. Any idea how else I could purchase the s/w?
Weezer Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 I use the wireless Ed-Tracker Pro...Really works well and easy to configure (Open Track)
No1sonuk Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 My first setup was a self-built clip using thin plywood and 3 LEDs scavenged from old TV and Sky remote controls. The camera was a Logitec web cam with the internal IR filter removed and a piece of floppy disk over the front. This worked, but I think the frame rate of the camera wasn't really good enough. It was a good proof of concept. My current hardware setup is a Delan clip with PS3 camera also bought pre-modified from Delanclip. This is MUCH better than my home-built setup. Software used in both cases is Opentrack.
erniedaoage Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 Currently i am using a Delanclip Fusion, wireless with a ps3 eye cam bought also pre modified and it works like a charm with opentrack. I also had a trackhat wireless clip but the battery is much better on the delanclip. I also used a 3dof edtracker wireless but it didn't worked that well in my case.
