FreeTrack is a software used to simulate head movements in 3D games, this will increase your reality and fun while the game being played. With just small movements of your head, the point of view will change in the screen. This software is compatible with almost all games.
The task is achieved by a webcam and markers (made of head-fixed diodes). The head tracking can be done by one of the following 4 methods.
(a) 1 Single point – 2DOF, easy to setup and very accurate.
(b) 3 Point clip – 6DOF, clip fastened on headphones.
(c) 3 Point cap – 6DOF, fastened on a cap.
(d) 4 Point cap – still available but obsolete.
You will get all these information in this user manual.
A very important news is, there is no need of any “Infrared webcam” !!! The plain usual webcam works fine here !.
