I'm using that exact camera. The Creative Cam LIVE NX. It works fantastic!
Now, I should say that I went with a visible light LED instead of the IR. It just made it easier, and didn't require that I dismantle my webcam. For that time being!  Anyways, works good, and these other guys links are things that I used as well to get acquainted. |

Thanks all for your help so far.
Because my fingers were itching for some action, I tried something silly/crazy which actually worked to show me the work I'd put into it is worth it: I tied the Wii sensor bar vertically to my forehead using a scarf. I looked incredibly stupid, but noone was around to see it, my Creative Live! webcam picked it up perfectly in a dark room, and also perfectly in a light room with some photo negatives taped to the front. So I used that as a 1-point setup and it worked like a charm after playing around a bit with the settings. So for now I've been flying around with 2D head tracking, and it's been a blast.  It'll still take some tweaking to get the settings right (e.g. how do I set a nice little "dead zone" so it doesn't jitter all the time?), but I'm sure I'll get it to work. Thanks for the links to the "newbie-help" threads for the more sophisticated (and MUCH less idiotic-looking) solutions, I'll be checking those out. |
