Free alternative to TrackIR - using your Android phone.

  • Don't know if this is actually any good, but I just found this app for Android which allows you to attach your Android phone to your headset, and it performs wireless headtracking via a pc app called FaceTrackNoIR or open track. Basically sending gyro info back to your pc.
    It's confirmed working well in the reviews, in several flight sims including Aerofly.

    Just thought you guys might like to try this out. (I'm mobile only).
    Shout up if it works.

  • And I'm already wondering if this could be added to the mobile AF2 build for head tracking on mobile devices too.

    Imagine playing on your tablet, whilst your phone is tie wrapped to a baseball cap giving you full head tracking in cockpit cam whilst you fly on your tablet in cockpit cam. That'd give pan, tilt, zoom, peek around.
    Phone fixed to your head could be bluetooth paired to the tablet running AF2.
    AF2 app being suitably modded to work with this input.
    I've got loads of old droids knocking around.
