Head Tracking query

I might be wrong but I think your only options are TrackIR or DIY.
Have you looked on ebay for 2nd hand trackIR you might be able to find a cheap one?

If you have a webcam laying around you can use FaceTrackNoIR I'm using it and love it for dogfights. if you check the video it has a link to the .ini files i've uploaded and it'll give you a head start on setting up the curves.

You could try FaceTrackNoir, where you only need a cheap-ish webcam.
I've been using TrackIR myself for several years now and none of the substitutes worked as good and reliable as TIR though.
Keep in mind that you don't need the latest TIR version, I'm still using a TIR4 and it's still working very well. Should be quite a bit cheaper.

Check that: http://edtracker.org.uk/ - you can get the 10 pound tracker assembled by the guys who designed it.
well, I tried facetracknoir and in a brightly lit room it worked fine, but playing Elite in a dark room is awesome.
Got an EDtrack made for me £30, and yes I have to wear headphones to attach it to, but I wouldn't play without it now
The new software is even better and I think there's a wireless version now. Best. Addon. Ever
I've tried using this but Elite Dangerous does not seem to 'see' it. Did you have to do anything special for it to work?

I'm using the Delan Clip with FaceTrackNoIR on the 3 point setting rather than face tracking. It works very well. I made a mount that swaps over using velcro so I can change from headphones to a headphone band (from an old pair with the phones cut off) for when I want to play with speakers.
EDIT: I'm using a Playstation 3 camera. You can get the PC driver for about £3

If you grab the .cvs file that has the lastest list of games it'll work
http://sourceforge.net/projects/facetracknoir/files/
just put it in this folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Abbequerque Inc\FaceTrackNoIR\Settings

No need to wear any strange head gear, works very well for me.

I never used head tracking before but i think i will give it a try.
Ordered the Arduino parts and now waiting for them to arrive. It will be fun assembling it.
By the way - is it worth it if you have only one monitor?
I have a 24" monitor and it works perfectly fine on that.
