Head tracking is a gamechanger for flying or driving games. I’ve used opentrack successfully with Star Citizen via lutris but have been struggling to get it working for steam games. LookPilot seems to work well and is fairly cheap but isn’t FOSS. I know there are loads of other alternatives so I’m wondering what have you found that works well?
I don’t know, but I really like seen whatever @bekopharm@discuss.tchncs.de cooks at !diysimulators@discuss.tchncs.de , so just tagging him in case he has any recommendations
OpenTrack is alright :) The trick is to get it to play nice with Proton. I’ve some scribbles ott here: https://simpit.dev/systems/opentrack/
I also was with the closed beta of the Linux native version of the Beam Eyetracker, which is kinda rad if you just have a webcam/smartphone cam and want to get some experience without investing into more expensive hardware. It utilizes the same mechanisms under the hood but comes with a fancy GUI and a setup wizard so that is really smooth sailing for newcomers.
Nothing stopping you from making your own tracker with cardboard and a bunch of IR LED tho. Been there :)
