FreeTrack Forum

One of the guys over on the DCS forums has made a sort of TIR glove using a wii remote and some other bits and bobs.
Very nice and very cool.
take a look here. There is also a link to a youtube vid showing it working, Awsome!!

I am really tempted to make one of these. Plus as you are only using 1 point you could use a cheap non Nintendo wii remote

Ayup!  I picked up another Wiimote last night, and plan to put together a glove or finger mounted IR LED soon.

I don't know if the FreeTrack progammer(s) would be interested in adding this sort of capabilty into FreeTrack.  (Basically, adapting the Wiimote Whiteboard code into the FreeTrack interface, with FreeTrack having the option to use a second Wiimote / camera [if someone's CPU(s) can handle the extra load], with settings screens for headtracking and others for finger tracking.)

I could see where that would be a potential strain on support/resources that they might wish to avoid.  Of course, it would certainly make FreeTrack stand out even more as an alternative to TrackIR.  I would think such a program would be that much less likely to get snubbed/shortchanged by sim/game authors (ala the recent DCS: Black Shark happenings...).

it seams easy. but what is the kind of switch is that and what is that called and where can i get one?

No I have not seen it..
