Head tracking

[Stingray77]

This is probably a long shot but does anyone know of software to head track on a mac using only a webcam and none of those led head sets?

It uses face recognition. I know of 'Facetracknoir' but it's only on PC. Any help greatly appreciated.

I don't own the product, but I think this is what you are looking for.

 

EDIT- sorry I didn't realize ephendi  already put a link to the same product.

Just try out the TrackerXP demo. Nice after you get used to it and fiddle around a bit. 

 

On my Mac I yet have to check the performance - with TrackXP everything seemed a bit slower, but I gave it a harder test (XP 10.22, EDDM, many objects, JAR A320, etc.). It should not be a problem with lower end free- or pay-ware aircraft.

 

PilotView is another noteworthy freeware plug-in. A couple of pay-ware aircraft already come with a similar feature.

I use TrackIR hardware with linuxtrack plugin working on Mac. It's be far better. Precise, fast.

Does TrackIR work with a regular IMack? If it does work, which version is the best to purchase?

I've tried TrackerXP and was not that happy with it. Also use PilotView, which I like.

Thanks

Hi,

 

I use linuxtrack which, in spite of it's name, has a Mac version: http://code.google.com/p/linux-track/

Thanks for the information,Jose. I'll give it a try. Do you use TrackerIR with this interface?

Hi stayup,

 

No. I use it with face recognition.

Hi,

linuxtrack does work with TrackIR 2 to latest TrackIR 5 and also SmatrNav3 and 4 are supported. Besides that, there is a Wiimote support and Webcam working in both Freetrack-like (hat or clip with LEDs) and facetracking mode...

Kind regards,
