This is a new project, started in May 2010, built from FreeTrack source code and using faceAPI to help with imageprocessing.
(The last two videos were non-FOSS games, but only a few youtube vids as it is new software, and demonstrates different uses) FaceTrackNoIR takes raw data from any webcam, processes it, and sends to games via FreeTrack or other protocols or through emulating a joystick.ĭevs note: the quick head movements accentuate depth perception a lot, and shows off the 3d art.

The FreeTrack opensource project used cheap but specialised equipment, wrote their own processing software and sent the data to games via reverse engineered TrackIR protocol/FreeTrack protocol. Normally this type of control through head movement was very expensive, and required specialised IR cameras/lights/markers to acquire raw data which was processed through closed source software and sent to games via protocols like TrackIR, being aimed at the high end simulation users. Webcams known to work well with FaceTrackNoIR. FaceTrackNoir uses the protocol developed for FreeTrack, among others, including FlightGear's own. Very popular with space/flight simulation community, this technology can be used with FPSs/3rd person RPGs as well. FaceTrackNoIR ( download) enables a user to use any webcam,by moving their head very slightly, to control the free-look/xyz movement of any game, through joystick emulation via PPjoy for Windows or directly when the game developer has included support.
