Title: Head tracking for $10
Post by: edge12674 on September 11, 2020, 11:33:09 AM

A new cheap alternative to TrackIr has just been released as of September 6th, 2020.  It is called "SmoothTrack" and works with the free OpenTrack program.  SmoothTrack is a $10 phone app that uses the camera on your smart phone (Iphone and Android) to track your head movements.  No other hardware is required.  There are already several reviews using it with MSFS 2020.  Since SmoothTrack uses the OpenTrack program it is compatible with AH, DCS, IL-2, or any other sim that OpenTrack is compatible with.  This might be the perfect use for that old smart phone you replaced.  :aok

Here is a link with more info:

Hope this helps

Additional FYI, the SmoothTrack requires a smart phone with the ARCore a.k.a Google Play Services for AR.

FYI you can just go free, no phone required either. Google facetracknoir , it uses facetracking for headtracking. Just needs a webcam.
