• PS3 Eye Camera Open Source Driver (32 / 64 bit) - 23 December 2018

  I have been working on a driver for the PlayStation Eye Camera and the first beta release is now available on github! Happily there were lots of open source projects out there that were of great help, including the PS3 Eye Linux driver. For those who are unfamiliar with this camera, it's an extremely good value (only $7 on Amazon right now) and it has a decent sensor which is capable of 60 FPS at a low latency. It's perfect for head tracking, but the only problem is it's designed to be used with a PlayStation 3. There is another 3rd party driver available for PC but it's only for 32 bit apps and doesn't work with ViewTracker. The new driver has only had limited testing and could still have some bugs. The good news is that it runs in user-mode so any bugs will only affect the app that's using the camera and it won't crash your entire computer like a kernel-mode driver could. It should be…

• Working through some launch issues - 15 September 2018

  Hi everyone, Thanks so much to everyone that has posted feedback so far. I have just made a quick update to fix an issue with Arma III and probably some other games as well. I'll work on getting other issues fixed as fast as possible. I'm also working on a guide to explain configuration options for some games. I'll try to update it with as many games as I can over time. Thank you for trying out ViewTracker and thanks for your patience while these issues get sorted out.

• ViewTracker has been released! - 13 September 2018

  I'm super excited to introduce ViewTracker — a new solution for head tracking on PC! As a PC gamer that very much enjoys a good simulation, I know how much head tracking can improve the gaming experience. There are a lot of head tracking solutions out there, but I feel like there's a need for something that's simple and inexpensive that will make it easy for more people to experience how awesome it is to game with head tracking. The only hardware that's required is a webcam. There's plenty of futuristic machine learning techie stuff going on under the hood to make that possible but for the end user it should be as easy as plugging in a webcam and pressing a button. I've put in a lot of work into getting tracking to work well with only a webcam and I couldn't be happier to be bringing it out on Steam. Huge thanks to the opentrack project for making their work available under a permissive…
