A Couple Questions before I Buy

Post by stevember »

I have searched but I have not found the answers.

1. If I am playing something like Halo, when I look around with the trackir will it move the target? So I can basically use my head to do the targeting.

2. Can I set it on some games to walk forward if I move my head forward?

Hi Steve,

TrackIR is not designed to be a mouse or keyboard replacement. So, you can't use it for aiming or moving. Rather, it's designed to separate aim from view (two controls that are usually tied to each other). Your keyboard/mouse/joystick will still control basic aiming and moving. TrackIR will just let you look around *independent* of your movement and aiming.

If you haven't already, check out the TrackIR Explained video:

Additionally, TrackIR is only supported in titles that integrate our SDK. You can find the full list here:
