A review of several “free” head-tracking alternatives to use with Flight

@LameLefty
Regular webcams are pretty useless for tracking. Lower the fps in AiTrack - it works contrary to the way you’d think more fps = better when actually I’ve found 10fps to be best. Also raise gain and exposure if in low light. Try to get hold of a PS3 Eye Toy Camera - they were made for tracking, in the UK they can be had for a low cost of £5 from CeX (Cash Exchange) or other second hand retailers where you are.

I use the IPIsoft x64 drivers for PS3 EyeToy Camera on Windows 11 - they are free.

I use lostindark/DriverStoreExplorer: Driver Store Explorer [RAPR] (github.com) if I need to make sure drivers are uninstalled even if they come with an uninstaller I check with this program after.

Option A) IPIsoft PSEYE Driver Installation
NOTE: If you have already install libusb based drivers, please uninstall those drivers first in Windows device manager
This installation option is very simple. Just download the driver for your Windows OS architecture and all PSEYE Cameras should be recognized. IPISoft is software for Motion Capture Full Body system. This PS3Eye driver was not originally intended to be used with PSMoveService (opensource software), though it does appear to work. Therefore, please do not spam the support of IPISoft with questions about this driver. Use at your own risk.
