Hi, the TIR camera works on USB (not recomended through a HUB.) and the clip is designed to clip on a cap brim. I cannot see why it is not possible to secure the clip to your visor with tape for example (the clip is only a few grams.). If you secure the clip to your visor I would recomend haveing the camera at roughly the same hight as the reflector clip for maximum effectiveness.

Ok, Is possible obtain a relation of 1:1 on head movements and virtual head movements?

In other word if i turn my head to the right 90 degree, I see the right side view of the simulator on the head mounted display.

Seems to me that the visor is just replacing your monitor. Even if the view does not move 1:1 the effect should be the same, turn right - view moves right. Why do you want to have to crank your neck all the way around 90 degrees? You'll hurt yourself :-)

Yes, I am replacing the Monitor with the Head Mounted Display in front of my eyes, The idea is obtain a Full VR sim. Using Low cost object. I can buy a I-Gasses or equal, for a price of 900$, but it is very expensive.

The TrackIR can work with a HMD, people have had good luck using several of the different HMD's on the market.

The TrackIR software can be adjusted to give a 1:1 movement ratio if you would like.

Best,
Kevin
