This file is for a blog post on my website, so that said, the quality sucks balls.

Oh, and I also wanted to ask what do you think it would take to make some sort of HUD that actually displayed something relevant to what you're playing?

[kayinnasaki]

Yeah it is Yoko. Also why would I need that? With the hat on I have an easy time looking at my instruments!

[Grammaton485]

That's true. Like you said, it's pretty low tech, so maybe the next step would be to spruce it up a tad.

Theres not much farther to go from here. Head tracking works as well as it could possibly work. A decent 3d headset is a BIG investment that really isn't worth it.

All I really want to do is tape down some wires and neaten up the appearance.

next step: this + 3d glasses :D

[kayinnasaki]

We've done that. My friend has a headset. Sadly it wasn't all THAT great, but it was still pretty good!

Is that a sexy Yoko background from Gurren Lagan?

Well, you can kinda see the skull hairpiece, the red hair, and the flame bra is a dead giveaway. Some people (emphasis on some) people would probably think throughout the video, "Goddammit, Kayin, minimize Steam NOW."

[kayinnasaki]

Hah, I meant to cover that up more so I'd avoid that question.

But if anyone else wnats to know, I'm pretty sure I got it from pixiv somewhere.

[TechieRefugee]

Nice. Imma have to try this sometime.

Also, I wonder how many people are gonna ask where you got the Yoko background from.
