fell, I hate when I have the perfect hardware for something, but software doesn't let me use it.
I love flight simulaton. And head tracking is a good way to make it more immersive without a big performance impact.
I have a TrackHat head tracker, but it's very inaccurate.
However, I also have VIVE Trackers which can track anything with sub-millimeter accuracy and no perceivable latency. They would be PERFECT!
But I can't use them. There are just so many software obstacles. For one, SteamVR requires a VR compositor for tracking; and the VR compositor requires a headset to be connected. Now, I have a headset, but it's an Oculus Rift that won't work on Linux. On top of that, the OpenTrack plugin for SteamVR seems outdated.
Meh.
