FaceTrackNoIR, old webcam and a joystick...

Fooking ACE!!!!

..and its FREE!!

Please, DO try this at home...

FaceTrackNoIR, which is free, basically turns your £10 webcam into a fully functional Head Tracking device for gaming.. For free...

Did I say free?

Anyway...

FaceTrackNoIR is some software which uses your webcam and your ugly mush to turn your in-game pilot/driver's head properly, so you can fly/drive with your joystick and look around you for enemies properly without that shitty hatstick snapping your neck off...

You do NOT need any IR lights, LEDS or expensive pieces of shit plastic that will snap in 20 minutes...

However, you can use that stuff or make your own for a few pennies to make it work better....
Like a shitty old baseball cap and 3 balls of tinfoil ... and no.. I'm not making that up...
More details and stuff here..

I'm currently using it in War Thunder (with just my pretty face.. no tinfoil or lights) and once the graphs are set up, its quite good and useable..
