Forums - Nintendo - Wii Head Tracking

Perhaphs this has already been discussed here, but I ran across this vidoe on YouTube regarding head tracking using the Wiimote and a PC.

 

 

The greatest thing about this is you can download the software to do this on your own PC.

This is extremely old, and a new thread is posted about twice a month. I'm surprised there are still people who haven't seen it.

I've had the TrackIR device for many years now. It was very helpful in combat flight sims like IL2 especially playing online. I haven't use the device that much since I quit playing IL2.



Too bad this feature was dropped from Bloom Blox. Might have been pretty cool. Oh well, hopefully some other dev will include it.



It may have something to do with copyright. Here's a statement on Wiki about FreeTrack :


NaturalPoint, Inc.  alleges that a FreeTrack library violates its copyright by using the TrackIR Enhanced interface without authorization to gain view control in games which support TrackIR hardware. These TrackIR Enhanced games constitute the majority of games which FreeTrack works with, and without them FreeTrack would be significantly less useful to game and simulation users. Other software also appears to be using the TrackIR Enhanced interface without authorization, including GlovePIE, NewView and TIR4FUN .

It's possible this feature was drop from Bloom blox for the same reason.
