I noticed an interest in that arduino based head tracking.
I thought it was really cool.
But I wanted to share my Alternative.
If you have a webcam, read on! As this requires a web cam.
Some of you may or may know of TrackIR it costs about 150$
FaceTrackNoIR however is FREE.
This software uses your webcam and performs face tracking.
If you play with enough lighting where your camera can see your face this will work.
I should mention that you need to really adjust the graphs and curves though.
Out of the box, FreeTrackNoIR sucks. But after playing and tweaking the graphs significantly. Fine tuning the sensitivity and actual turning/outputs of the software.
I can say I am very very satisfied.
PICS of Curves
For those if you with a webcam and a desire for some head tracking in game I highly suggest you give it a try.
