Hi Thud, I get a '404' error, page not found with that link.

Me too but then I don't know much about track IR anyways.

Kitform

It's similar to some software I used a few years ago before I got TrackIR.

It uses a web cam as the input device to track your head movements, the version I had was quite good after spending time setting it up and tweaking it, my version worked best with a light source mounted on your head Smile

rather that a reflective patch.

Compared to trackIR, without trying this software, I would imagine it being a poor relation.

Using web cam software, if I got up out of my seat, then sat back down, I would have to reset the centre point for straight ahead view as the software 'looses you' when you move out of it's field of vision.
TrackIR on the other hand, once centred for ahead view, I could get up, walk downstairs, make a pot of tea and when sat back down in front of the computer my ahead view would still be the same, no need to reset it.

The web cam software does as it says on the tin but don't expect too much from it compared to TrackIR.

IMHO

thanks Kit
