Also check out the SmoothTrack mobile app. Same use case but the compute is done on a phone instead of the gaming machine. Head position data can be sent over local network or USB.

Hey! Thanks for recommending this!! That’s my app. :) pushing the tracking work off to the phone is helpful for freeing up resources on the computer.

Just wanted to say thanks! The first time played Flight Simulator 2020 with SmoothTrack I was blown away. I still am blown away each time too. Great experience that’s been nearly flawless for me and really turned up the realism. I can move my head closer to gauges and see what they’re saying, look around stuff, get a better view out the window. Wonderful.

Is there specialized face/head tracking hardware on phones like there is on DSLR cameras?

Yes indeed - ARCore on Android, ARKit on iPhone - AR optimizations are crazy good.

Thanks for making a fantastic tool!

Thanks for recommending. I can only place my real camera in somewhat awkward spots, so this would give me freedom to adjust its position more freely.
