Opentrack and Webcam

Featured Replies

Hi everyone,

I’ve discovered the above via a Reddit thread and it’s great however it’s very “twitchy” and I’m not sure I’ve worked out the curves etc properly. Does anyone have any examples of their settings for me to try?

There’s a file on fs.to but that hasn’t made any real difference.

 

thanks 

Hi Ian,

I can remember how I struggled with Opentrack, bought a lot of tracking devices and was never happy. It was never near to being satisfactory. I ended up buying TrackIr and never looked back. It worked so much better right out of the box, I couldn't believe it.

You might be lucky and get advice to tweak Opentrack to your satisfaction, then happy days. If not, don't make the same mistake and spent money for tracking hardware. Also, be aware you need at least 40fps for decent head tracking.

TrackIr is available at Amazon, they have a great return policy...

 

OK, I'll leave it to you

Good luck

Mick

Hi Mick,

Thank you. I do like the idea of it - but it needs to be smooth to feel real enough. But I don’t want to do the VR route as I don’t see enough that convinces me to spend the huge amounts - and in a tube flier.

I will look at Track IR….

 

Ian.

Nothing wrong with Opentrack. I have used Opentrack for years with the wireless Grassmonkey device.

It works great.
