CharveL, what people complain here is that TIR is overpriced, so for who can't or don't want afford it there is freetrack, cheap because today almost everybody have a webcam. I want be clear that i don't say one is better than another, just that one is "cheaper" than another.

Interesting. Coupled with the cheap price it does sound like a decent alternative for those who don't want to pony up for the more expensive unit.

I totally agree that, barring any of the legal stuff, FT is a good alternative.

I'll reserve any judgements on performance comparisons until I can see for myself but I only bring up the technical aspects out of an interest in finding out or explaining what I do know about TIR, not to tell people what they should or should not use.

This part according to Wolf_Troll. This little source code from linux-track, another evil hacking project stealing from Naturalpoint.

the LT looks hard

what he probably don't and will never understand is how it works. The software (the game) call some functions of a .dll, this .dll give back at the game the values X-Y-Z-yaw-pitch-roll. what freetrack do, when a software that don't use FT protocol, is to use a .dll with the same name of TIR's .dll, but are 2 completely different .dll. The game think is talking with NP's .dll and get the values back, but is freetrack, and no NP's .dll or software is involved in it. The complain that could only had NP was the string

sigdata = {
        "precise head tracking\n put your head into the game\n now go look around\n\n "
                "Copyright EyeControl Technologies",

        "hardware camera\n software processing data\n track user movement\n\n "
                "Copyright EyeControl Technologies"
};

that was removed, so can you again explain your statement?

with equal performance? yes, Lobi, that's because FT uses part of NP software

thanks

And this is one of the "VOTE NO" guys... Glad to see! One vote less for "NO"?

Funny stuff!

I set the multiplier down to x2 and reduced the smoothing algorithms and it didn't make a fat lot difference to the slight (and it is very slight) lag. Having immediately changed from one system to another I am left unsure as to what, if any, impact the slight lag would make in actual use as I seemed fairly comfortable with both set-ups in full switch (others would probably say otherwise, I can only speak for myself). I'm sure if you were to try it you would be suprised at how well it 'can' perform even with a 30fps webcam - even if it didn't quite match your TIR performance. All will be revealed in a few weeks!
