FaceTrackNoIR

Just to note that I've installed FaceTrackNoIR ( http://facetracknoir.sourceforge.net/home/default.htm ) and so far, it works fine with Live Camera.  Haven't yet explored the full parameter space, but it does seem to be a possible replacement for TrackIR, especially if you haven't purchased TrackIR but do have a web cam.  The software is free (you can donate, of course).

OK, thanks for the heads up but I would expect a program which moves the eye point to conflict with Live Camera.

 

Let me know how you get on with it.

Tried it, removed it.  I'm sure it works ok for some but not for me - even after tweaking to the n'th degree had to keep moving my head to extreme angles to settle things down only for the screen to slew off at crazy angles.  It was when the motion sickness set in I thought "that's enough of that ! :(   However, I've watched the promo vids and it does appear to look good - if/when you can set it up correctly.

It seems to work just like TrackIR.  I'm using version 1.6 and the Fake TrackIR protocol.  The OpusFSX window that shows the connection to TrackIR shows exactly the same text with FaceTrackNoIR except that it finds the NP dll in the FTNoIR directory and the NP software is recorded as version 4.09 rather than 5.00.  Time, which I'm out of for a few days, will tell.

OK, thanks for the useful info Richard.
