manta-avoid 36 Posted June 17, 2012 Anyone who's been interested in getting a TrackIR might be interested in this, instead. It's head tracking software, but based upon facial recognition. Requires only a webcam. More info on their homepage!http://sourceforge.net/projects/facetracknoir/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East 8 Posted June 22, 2012 Does this actually work in Arma II? I've tried versions 1.4, 1.5, and 1.7, but Arma II doesn't detect it once it's running. Options show Freetrack as available, and it's enabled.FaceTrackNoIR works perfectly and tracks my head at a steady 30fps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZogVarnoka 26 Posted June 22, 2012 I am interested if others are using this for DayZ and any opinions on the viability of the program. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GameJeff100 1 Posted June 22, 2012 Looks cool I guess I will have to dust off my webcam and give it s try Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Comrade Sniper 3 Posted June 22, 2012 I tried installing it, I can't seem to get the program to see my webcam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East 8 Posted June 22, 2012 The PS3 Eye webcam seems to be recommended for tracking use, and it's dirt cheap on Amazon/ eBay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dds__@hotmail.com 5 Posted June 22, 2012 It does work but the hardware (TrackIR) works better). I've ordered mine. ~$150 it is used in many games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OrLoK 16182 Posted June 22, 2012 hello there,This software works fairly well with Arma (and other RV based games), but it really shines only when airborne, with infantry use, whilst novel, it *can* be offputting and put you in "deadly" situations.YMMV.RgdsLoKPS Track IR is groovy as well, but a lot of cash to most of us.

Nyz 42 Posted June 22, 2012 I installed this and could never get arma to recognize it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dunnobe 3 Posted June 22, 2012 Tried it months ago and it worked. Pretty cool when you're flying a helicopter or plane.http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?100530-Update-FaceTrackNoIRRead through, it might help you getting it to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East 8 Posted June 23, 2012 Bittereinder, I read through all those 52 pages when trying to get it to work, but no luck. Thought Comodo was blocking the process, but even after uninstalling it, it wouldn't work. Going to find some other game/simulator to try it on to see if it's Arma 2's fault, or something I'm doing wrong, generally, with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Load the arma2.ini and select Freetrack protocol and setup your FaceTrackNOIR. Then start up Arma 2 and activate the FreeTrack protocal somewhere in your options (controller options for what i read). I read you can uninstall the FaceApi demo afterwardsYeah there's no install guide and you kinda have to find out everything for yourself. That sucks.You can always register on that forum and ask for help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creepymoto 16 Posted June 23, 2012 CHKilroy used some type of IRTracking. Check him up on this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zombie Squirrel 5 Posted June 23, 2012 You might also check on Freetrack. Uses IR like TrackIR but it's a DIY solution = free. Works pretty well, even for infantry (if you play with the config curves and sensitivity and deadzone). Being DIY it means the quality will depend a lot on your webcam quality and ability to attach/solder LEDs to your headset/cap, though.I have tried FaceTrackNoIR a good while back, didn't work for me so much (obviously it needs good lighting and clean background), but heard they have made a good progress as well.All those solutions are great, even for infantry play, if only for being able to easily look behind you.

infekt3d 0 Posted June 25, 2012 I set this up last night. I have a Microsoft Lifecam Cinema, and it works well if I have my overhead light on or it's daytime. I have a few more adjustments to play with tonight after work.For those having issues; I am on Win 7 x64 and got it to work using the following -Uninstall FaceTrackNoIRInstall the faceAPI > http://www.faceapi.com/Download/register.php (You have to register first)Install v1.6 FaceTrackNoIR (Make sure you load it up and you can see your face on the left)Close both programs completelyUninstall the faceAPI in Control PanelRight click the FaceTrackNoIR.exe and set it to "Run as Administrator" Right click the ArmA beta exe and set it to "Run as Administrator"Load ArmA, go to settings, controls, controllers and enable the FacetrackLoad FaceTrackNoIR, load the ArmA preset, and click "start"You SHOULD at this point get some kind of movement in the game, from here just tweak your settings accordingly.I have some issues where sometimes I have to start ArmA FIRST, if I leave the FaceTrack crap running it screws up, but only with the ArmA beta.

stephansabath@t-online.de 40 Posted June 25, 2012 Firefall, i need your help :-)Bought a logitec c310 today, which is working pretty good, but ithink i need the right facetracknoir setup. Maybe you can help me. Are you using "fake trackIR" ?What are the other settings, to get it smooth?Thx in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squidgyb 0 Posted June 25, 2012 Also - if you're of a DIY bent - free track is a pretty decent alternative to trackIR. You'll need to break open a webcam and remove the IR filter and replace it with a visible light filter and make your own head tracking LEDs, but it should be more accurate than face tracking. Haven't used it myself with arma, but it always worked very well for flight/racing sims.E: read the first page and assumed no one had mentioned freetrack yet. Ninja'd.

KWilt 157 Posted July 2, 2012 Played around with it a little bit, but it seems a little slow in response. (May just be my web cam, though.)It's an interesting little toy, though, if somebody can get it working really well, they might be able to have a pretty valuable asset for hella cheap.

djkling 5 Posted July 2, 2012 It may cost you a few bucks, but using TrackIR has been awesome for me. The facial recog is ok but using a trackIR with the IR lights on my headphones has been WAY better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wulfear 6 Posted July 2, 2012 I wanted a trackIR until I read this:NaturalPoint have been supplying developers of popular game titles with a secretly encrypted version of the TrackIR head tracking interface since 2008, rendering these games incompatible with the standard TrackIR interface used by TrackIR 1 & 2, FreeTrack, FaceTrackNoIR, linux-track, GlovePIE, NewView and others. TrackIRFixer disables encryption in games to restore compatibility.That's like a move out of Creatives book. =\ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
