#Flightgear trackir how to#
How to use FreePIE IO from external software.Please see the scripting section for help with scripting syntax.For an example on how to implement an I/O plugin for FreePIE please see this wiki page.The software is designed to allow third party developers to add their own I/O plugins either through direct integration into the core library or through a separately compiled plugin mechanism. The script language is based on the Python syntax and offers non-programmers an easy way to interface devices.įreePIE is very similar to the popular utility GlovePIE, but encourages open development and integration with any device. Device control schemes are customized for specific applications by executing scripts from the FreePIE GUI. A typical application might be controlling the mouse in a PC game using a Wiimote. It has applications primarily in video gaming but can also be used for VR interaction, remote control, and other applications.
#Flightgear trackir code#
3: The source of the code is open, so maybe someone can make a Mac version? The FlightGear protocol uses UDP, so maybe we can make it work over LAN too?! Then you could run it on a 'spare' Windows-machine.This project is maintained by AndersMalmgren and zelmon64 Welcome to FreePIE! FreePIE (Programmable Input Emulator) is a application for bridging and emulating input devices. again: seems the DLL-problem is caused by the faceAPI (see. On that machine it worked! It should work for anyone, but well, it's Windows isn't it? P.S.: I have tried it on a virtual machine with XP, that didn't have the faceAPI installed first. The faceAPI needs a 'WDM-type capturing device', whatever that may mean. If it says "No video-capturing device was found in your system: check if it's connected!", well, then obviously your web cam wasn't found. If FaceTrackNoIR starts, the message in the 'bubble' above the settings should show the name of your web cam. I will check if the missing DLL is on my system: perhaps I forgot to include it in the distribution?
O yeah, I do remember something about registering it (it was a while ago).

It should not be necessary to install the faceAPI first, but if you do (it's free), it enables you to test if it supports your web cam. This is my old video, where I was trying to send inputs through network and you can see that head tracking setup is very cheap and very useful with under 20 euros webcam Also many people think its unnatural for eye muscles, head and neck, but after long time I realized that, it is very good exercise for both eyes and neck because it is better than holding them in same position for hours.Ĭommercial TrackIR give you 120fps refresh, I am using Freetrack setup with camera that make about 30fps, but Freetrack do interpolation and produce more frames per second. So it should be problem to use with any civilian sim.įreetrack and TrackIR software give you ability to setup movement sensitivity and input curves, so after couple minutes any newcomer should became natural with it. Usually for dogfights in Il2 Sturmovik where you have to make very large and very fast movements from side to side, and watching on your six all time. I am using it intensively for about two years with only one 19 inches wide monitor.
