Update FaceTrackNoIR

[V4Friend]

Hello ArmA 2 fans!

It took some time, but now the first release of ' my' head-tracker is ready for testing: FaceTrackNoIR. It is a program that runs on Windows XP, Vista and 7 and uses the faceAPI from SeeingMachines. The major advantage over other head-trackers is, that you only need a simple web-cam and NO hats with LED's (or anything like that). All it needs is your face and some proper lighting...

The first release is ready for downloading at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/facetracknoir/files/

It is made compatible with ArmA 2 (using Free-track protocol) and FlightGear. After installation (which requires .NET Framework 3.5 SP1) the head-tracker should work. It does require the patch, which enables Free-track support ... You must also enable Free-track in the ArmA settings!

Of course, I am very curious to receive your feedback: it's the only way to improve software!

That sounds pretty cool. I own a TrackIR 5 myself. Are you sure it works with Arma 2, though? As in it's compatible with the TIR5 and/or Freetrack SDKs in the game?

Now this seems to be quite interesting.
I will give it a try! =D
Kudos!

Best regards

A friend of mine plays ArmA2 with it all the time. I get my feedback from him. If I keep playing the game myself, I cannot write any software :-)

So yes: it works in ArmA2, using the Free-track protocol...

Hmm, I'll give this a shot when I get home tonight. I've been wanting to try a TrackIR-like setup but not sure if I would like it, and didn't want to spend the money on TrackIR in case I hated it.

A new piece of software is being developed to control ARMA 2 by head-gesture without the need of IRTrack. A standard webcam is enough!

Please follow the link below:

It's operational, and can be manually tweaked for individual settings.

Let us know what you think!

Had some problems installing, seems that i have to run the .exe file as an administrator for the installation to complete successfully. Just posting to let anyone that has the same problem know. Now for the testing...

EDIT: Nvm, i get the error message "The application cant start because ippcore-5.3.dll does not exist" when i try to run the program. Ive tried reinstalling, deleting and installing and so on. Any tips?

Same with me.Will try to re-install the .NET Framework.Found a FAQ what said the ippcore-5.3.dll have to be deleted from the "windows\system32" but it wasn´t there.
Is there some more Info about this tool? Can´t find anything what gives me some goog infos.
