Hi,

I have Head Mounted Display / Video Goggles on there way but they do not have head tracking built in.

I have searched the web but cannot find anything that specifically looks at head tracking for these. I have used TrackIR before with a monitor and although I believe you can set scaling to 1:1 so a 90 degree turn of my head in reality will result in the same in the game, but am concerned about how the LEDs / Reflectors will handle me turning that far from the sensor.

I looked at FaceTrackNoIR as well, as I thought that wouldn't suffer as much at 90 degrees as it does not rely on the LED / Reflector points - but on looking closer I think it is going to be worse as seems to 'map your face'.

Anyone got any input on whether TrackIR 5 would perform OK, or indeed any other suggestions of software / hardware that might if it won't?

Primary use will be FSX and Prepar3d if that has any bearing - so user will be static in front of the sensor rather than walking around...

Any input, experience or suggestions welcome

With TrackIR, your actual head movements will be tracked up to around +/- 55� on Yaw. There's no way around this limitation, so 1:1 tracking with TrackIR might be too limited for your HMD needs.

Thanks Seth - does anyone have any alternate products or ideas? Is there anyway to combine to Track IR cams or are there any other technology that would potentially work better?

Thanks again
