would be nice if someone would come up with an eye tracker instead of the hat tracker we have now. Just a thought :mixedsmi:

that might be too jumpy...but a thermal tracker that could discern the heat differential of a persons face from the surrounding room temperature and track head movements that way might work - the trick is to keep costs down.

Is it the 'hat hair' thats got you down?...wait till you go bald and that problem 'disappears' :kilroy:

Yes, face tracker. That,s it! Ya the hat is a pain - not with the hair so much but just in general.

I have heard that some of the 'follicle challenged' users have problems with odd light reflections! Thankfully my golf visor hides my 'widow's peak' so I am OK so far. :icon_lol:

Even better: How about brain control?

a 'neural impulse actuator' sounds just a little too Stewie Griffin for me bro...

besides that looks like a much bulkier rig than the IR dot / cap combo and being a class A paranoid - I am left to wonder if my mind would be controlling my views in a flightsim whilst Major League Baseball was reading my thoughts....think about THAT :kilroy:
