TrackIR-clone for generic USB webcams.
“Freelook allows you to use movements of your head to accurately control your mouse cursor. This translates to hands-free viewpoint control in games such as IL2 Sturmovik and Lock On: Modern Air Combat, as well as providing a mouse alternative for handicapped users. Freelook is similar in execution to the excellent cam2pan and TrackIR systems, although unlike the latter, Freelook only requires a cheap off-the-shelf webcam.”
It requires a marker (piece of paper or LED) for proper detection still, but I can’t complain.
Nouse tracks the nose without requiring a marker, but it seems tied up as they figure out how to commercialize it.
Cam2Pan is only $10 and seems to be a bit better than Freelook.
Has anyone found the perfect cheap webcam for this solution?
Has anyone tried Freelook yet?
