This program requires DirectX installed on your system. This program requires to make changes to the hard drive users folder and registry NPClient. This is an early release and may not run under all circumstances. The software identifies a point on the IR map of your head, and puts a little "thumbtack" there.

A pick-point, I 've heard them called. It's a reference point on the render. When the thumbtack moves, your "virtual head" moves. So, I looked straight ahead at the monitor, and centered my head. All was well until I looked down a bit. Due to the already steep angle, and recentering of virtual head, It wouldn't further render me looking down.

When I did, the pick point jumped from the middle of my face to my forehead. I have a pretty decent rig, but had no webcam.

In summary: - IR tracks well in low-light, but the narrow "sweet spot" and resulting position of the sensor in relation to me just made it not work well at all. I only use it when I play during the day. Most often, I don't go for head tracking at all. Ok I had no idea what I was doing but I finally got kinect2tir tracking my head through the kinect but it seems the dll file is only written for 32bit OS and doesn't work on Horizons which is 64 bit. The facetracknoir is working though however I'm not finding it easy as it moves way too much at the slightest head movement.

I haven't figured out how to tweak it yet. Yeah, sorry to be a bit useless but it's because I've just had TrackIR for quite a few years now, and while other stuff can be made or put together, it's really the lack of hassle that you pay for - TrackiR just works and is really useful in any sort of cockpit sim racing, space, etc.

Once you get used to it, it's hard to imagine not using one. Although I'm not sure what steps you have to go through, my friend has used it for this. FaceTrackNoIR works but your lighting better be pefect! Tatsue View Profile View Posts.
