Opentrack Reviews and details

• TrackIR VS Cheaper alternatives

  I want to buy something like TrackIR (I don't know much about equivalent products). My friend told me about a DIY tracker that I could use (opentrack). Source: 8 months ago

• Preview: XREAL virtual display, no additional hardware

  Out of curiosity, do you have a formed opinion on Opentrack for 6DOF support? It would be cool to have a little input plugin from your software for the XREAL into Opentrack! I usually play Il-2 1946 and other flight sims on a docked Steam Deck, and opentrack + android phone with AI recognition is a god send. Source: 8 months ago

• Should I buy the IR5?

  I think you’ve got the wrong sub. But I thank you. I’ve learnt a load figuring out your acronyms! For anyone not following trackir is this https://www.trackir.com/trackir5/ (which looks remarkably similar to a head mouse extreme which you can’t buy). It’s head tracking. Not eyegaze.

• Which would you choose?

  If you have a decently modern phone you can get the smoothtrack app on your phone for $10. You can use that as an input for opentrack. I've been using that for a while, and it seems to be working well. Apparently you can also use a regular webcam in opentrack using aitrack, but I haven't personally used it so I can't vouch for how well it works. Source: 12 months ago

• Is it worth it?

  I got the game on Steam sale a while ago, messed about for few hours using mouse, not really much fun. Few weeks back snagged a joystick on sale, installed https://github.com/opentrack/opentrack to use with basic webcam for head tracking, works amazingly well. All in all, about $30 spent for amazing sim experience, well worth it. Source: about 1 year ago

• Own a webcam or a phone? That's all you need for good head-tracking

  Using the free and open source opentrack software and selecting its neuralnet tracker as input device (and fiddling with the curves for quite a bit) I now have reliable and accurate head tracking in DCS and ED. Source: about 1 year ago

• Assistance needed guys.

  OpenTrack is tracking software which can be used to track the position of the head. Ideally you want a fast webcam. Something that can do 60fps or more. Resolution is of lesser importance. There are several tracking methods, ranging from AI-assisted image recognition to tracking a shape to tracking (infrared) LEDs. The latter requires a modified webcam to work well.

• lets just say I'm liking the whole flight stick thing

  If you've got the money for it, go for it, but there are much cheaper ways to do head tracking. Https://github.com/opentrack/opentrack. Source: over 1 year ago
