I'll try that later.
it translates a very slight turn of the head into a big mouse movement... so you turn your head say 20 degrees and the view on your screen is looking out of your back window....

Right, thats it........this weekend im off to buy a webcam
Surely a simple battery operated system would work better, and be safer?? you only need 1 or 2 AAA cells and a resistor...Originally posted by da_ging

at the moment i am just pointing a green 5mm led which is hooked upto my download box at the webcam from about 50cm and after a bit of tweaking i have it moving left and right quite nicely although i havent got it to move up and down very well yet
just about to try a orange led to see if thats better
1 thing is it uses hardly any cpu resources so wont slow the game down
give me an hour and i should have a track-ir for free (just need to gsv to reappear so i can really test it )
i bought a cheapo labtech webcam today so I could give this a go
can't install the damned thing though! grrrrrrrr........... waiting for their helpdesk to get back to me
can't wait to give it a try
'Make mine a Spitfire, Landlord!'
right I tried it... th tracking is quite good, although t needs serious tweaking - but i had a big problem where it runs for about 3 minutes, and then stops. Completely. oh well... I don't like it anyway - i can't keep my head still enough....
