I'm super excited to introduce ViewTracker — a new solution for head tracking on PC! As a PC gamer that very much enjoys a good simulation, I know how much head tracking can improve the gaming experience. There are a lot of head tracking solutions out there, but I feel like there's a need for something that's simple and inexpensive that will make it easy for more people to experience how awesome it is to game with head tracking. The only hardware that's required is a webcam. There's plenty of futuristic machine learning techie stuff going on under the hood to make that possible but for the end user it should be as easy as plugging in a webcam and pressing a button.
I've put in a lot of work into getting tracking to work well with only a webcam and I couldn't be happier to be bringing it out on Steam. Huge thanks to the opentrack project for making their work available under a permissive license. This allowed me to bring out ViewTracker without having to reinvent the wheel but instead make use of a tried and true user interface. Happy simming!
