TrackIR5 is out!

[zaelu]

My freetrack 2.1 (yeah, I didn't upgrade to 2.2 cause it's working great) is smooth and works without problems in Win XP an Win7 beta/RC1 (Il-2, DCS Black Shark, GRID).

The software costs... nothing.
A webcam cost dirt (the high rezolution TIR 5 is bragging about is nonesense, as the software makes the required aproximation and there is no need for pixel interpolation in hardware)
The LEDs assembly costs 5 bucks at most. You can still order TIR clip if you are lazy or you don't like to play with soldering iron.

The problem with TIR X is that they are just trying to hold down the evolution of the tracking devices... They encrypt their communication protocol with the games in a desperate attempt to lock down the user. I understand them... is the only thing they can do in this "economic crisys" but, history is about to get rid of them as they are no use anymore.

You wanna bet?

Note... the site I am linking is Gizmodo.com a well known site for gadgets and electronic little things. The game depicted in that presentation might be... "odd" to some... but, is Japan market and they have few centuries ahead of "western crowd" in some areas .

So... actual face/head tracking is possible with a normal unmodified webcam. The software can be open source/free as always.

So, there is no need to fall on your backs when you hear about last desperate market acrobatic maneuver of a dying niche of money milking... "economic entity".

TIR 5 is a joke.
