FreeTrack is a free head tracking program that can be used with any Windows compatible video device, typically a webcam, in addition to the Nintendo Wii Remote. It can measure head rotation and translation, together a total of six degrees of freedom (6dof) and can output to FreeTrack and TrackIR interfaces as well as mouse, keyboard and joystick controls.

This video demonstrates the stability and responsiveness of FreeTrack v2.1, using a cheap 30fps Logitech webcam, in rFactor.

  • Hi, I'm interested in freetrack, and I was wondering about the 'head jitter' I see in some videos. Is this an issue with the game, the webcam, the reflector configuration, or just the player's head? Thanks. :)

  • Some videos are of the old beta version of FreeTrack.

  • watch?v=ElXTs3azINs

  • this is amazing, this should be included in rF2

  • @kyuutube it depends on your camera frame-rates, if it is 30 or higher, (IR leds),no background reflection, guarantee no lag.

  • wow great! it seems more easy to drive like that

  • This looks really smooth, is it responsive too? Or is there a noticeable lag?

  • So, can I configure it like an analog right stick to use it on Grid? That would be great! I had this idea and immediately gone to youtube to search for information. =)

  • Well, just downloaded the software.

    @ Nielzdg,

    Game is very realistic, the graphics are a bit lower. But the choice to ' tune ' the ride is awesome. You can (Nearly) do everything with it.

    Like, blowing up the engine when gearing down to fast (When the RPM hits the 11k with the hammer).

  • That's not the point of this video...

    Graphics realism isn't everything either, Y'know.

  • Chanrobi i hope you mean its a rip off in cost, not the idea..

    TrackIR isa great tool for people with no hand movements, i use one at Stoke mandeville hospital for helping tetraplegics use their PC again by themselves.

    chanrobi has opinion yet i bet hes never even seen or used a real one to warrent having an opinion.

    it just happens tobe a great tool for gaming also, superb for use in flightsims, essential even in online air-war and pretty good for immersion in any driving game.

    Thanks 4 stars

  • In what way?
