Class : Apprenti Posts : 2 Registered on : 09/01/2008 Off line	i'm trying to do something similar to freetrack... 6dof based on face-tracking only. (yep, it is hard... and no, it wont work in the dark... but hey, there are people climbing the everest too) anyways i got something that works... at least 2dofs are that is. i've been googling all over to figure out how to talk "trackir-ize" that is how to communicate as if my rig was trackir comaptible. i've been unable to get freetrack running on my devbox (its got one of those nasty built-in cams that do yuy2 only), and delphi's not my thing. wondering if anyone has any docs on this... like how is freetrack trackir comapitble. how to achieve trackir compatibilty. your help would be greatly appriciated. jozsef koloszar
