DW2020 Posted April 10, 2020 Share 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?

DW2020 Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 How do U provide the light source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldahpilot Posted April 10, 2020 Share 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic Posted April 10, 2020 Share 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 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I haven't found anything that works nearly as well as TrackIR 5 with a three point IR transmitter.

Dr_Wigglespank Posted April 11, 2020 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamTinCan Posted September 16, 2020 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezer Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I use the wireless Ed-Tracker Pro...Really works well and easy to configure (Open Track) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No1sonuk Posted September 17, 2020 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erniedaoage Posted September 18, 2020 Share 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.
