<t>My guess is that a merging of the APIs would only be handy if you wanted to use the z800's rotation tracking and the TrackIR's rotation and/or translation tracking and doing some logic between them. But why not use the TrackIR for everything?... The TrackIR4 supposedly has a response time of just...

<t>Ah, yes, this is the discussion I wanted to get started. Good question, can we reassign the axis and assign certain ranges of head orientation/positions to virtual keyboard keys? This would just be the beginning of making the TrackIR useful for more games but should be pretty simple code-wise.<br...

Ah, I see Jim is already being very forward thinking and pro-active with regard to the z800 and other future HMDs: http://forums.naturalpoint.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=32&t=000213 Hats off to Jim! Jim, what do you think of my thoughts about virtual keymapping and the "r...

I am very sorry, I left out a very crucial detail! I was thinking of using a Head-Mounted-Display (HMD), not a monitor, like the one sold at www.3dvisor.com (the Z800). Since you wear the screen as VR goggles, you always are looking at it no matter where you turn . I realize that the z800 HMD comes ...

<t>This might be a really dumb question or an obvious innovation:<br/> <br/> Why would you mount the TrackIR in front of you rather than mounting it above you, like on the ceiling?<br/> <br/> It seems to me this would allow you to rotate 360 degrees without the need of another input device and witho...
