https://smoothtrack.app https://smoothtrack.app - an app that uses your phone's AR for 3D head tracking for PC games. Kind of a "VR" feel for sim games, without VR.
Has layout issues on some smaller screens, I'm still working on a USB connection feature, and lots of other stuff I need to improve on. But releasing early was the right decision, it's already doing pretty well!
- nodematic 6y agoCool concept. How is the experience moving the head, but keeping the eyes on the fixed location screen?
- epaga 6y agoIt works great, actually. The movement of the head is exaggerated in the game so you only need to nudge your head slightly to move the camera - you just keep your eyes on the same spot while you do so. Your brain gets used to it very quickly and it feels surprisingly intuitive.
- bdefore 6y agoNice to see your post, I've been using this on a Pixel 3a with MS Flight Simulator and it works well! I wish there was less latency, but it is manageable and definitely adds to the experience. Thanks! Curious what you think of my own submission here, a tool to make flight sim control maps from a browser: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25702356 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25702356
- epaga 6y agoLooks like a ton of work, quite cool! I don't use a HOTAS all that much, except for when I play Elite: Dangerous - and Elite already has a different site with lots of layout combos (though I forget its name).
