Ok that looks NICE.
I'm honestly very tempted, maybe so i might cancel my rift pre order and just get this instead, wait a generation for vr to settle, my main reason for not getting trackir has been simply that I have to look away from the thing I actually want to look at..

But I already ordered a new phone (that the postal service promptly lost for me) so i need to let my finances recover from this and my pre Christmas shenanigans ;p

Depends on how you set it up......1 degree head movement can equal 45 degree in game if you want it to.......

There are no massive head movements involved...

Eyes never leave the screen......

I have a Tracker 5 with the Proclip and love it. I got my profile somewhere, but am happy to share if anyone wants.

Some questions come to mind that their page doesn't seem to answer: Does this work around 10 feet away? (I game from my couch, and the face tracking in track IR juuuuust barely works, but without LEDs on my head, it's too jerky.) Second, does it get messed up if I move my head?

I have tried a few suboptimal solutions (facetracker etc) but most successful was stuffing an old cell phone on my headset and using the gyro's and what not there, but no matter how sensitive it's calibrated it's either not enough or so much it completely ruins immersion for me even more than having to use a HAT switch.

And I am entirely reliant on prescription glasses, and looking to the sides in these bends light differently so I get a prism effect (white breaks subtly into the primaries) when I don't look straight ahead and that's why it's such a big deal for me.

Coupon nails it for me though, this looked awesome, and I'm to the age where I my finances are sorted enough I can indulge :D

And it's fucking paypal...
(Paypal is the ONLY reason I'm not using voice attack)

Well, the usual they are a bank.

but no I have two accounts already and when I try to reset my password they ask me stuff like what's my favourite colour is or what my mom's high school crush was.

A: I never really reply to those questions since they are THE least secure thing (unless you do what I do and they are totally secure)
B: I usually reply thise some random rant a bajillion letters long using the F word a lot.


Meh, I guess it's time to get paypal account number three,,

Also bought voice attack.
I'm starting to run out of body parts to use for control peripherals now...
Hotas for my hands, pedals for rudder and feet, now eyes and voice... :D

If this wasn't PvE, I'd now be duty bound to hunt Avago-Earo down for forcing me to spend money!

Oh, my. Cures one of the most irritating bits of the control setup. May have to shim it out with a little black double-stick due to the curved monitor, but... me want. Now.

Thanks, CMDR!

I'm with you, Elite is now the only game I actually play in front of my pc monitor :S
This is where I play most of my shooters and what not now :S

And it's Elite I want to play with this.
I do truly hope it works with my usb 3 ports since I just replaced this mother board on sunday :\

Since I have already ordered one I can be your guinea pig and test it out.
