I'm quite sure it is possible to use freetrack to control the mouse... but I'm not sure at all about HOW to do it!
Do I need additional modules, something like GlovePie, or can just FreeTrack send proper signals to the System to move mouse pointer depending on the position of ONE single led?

I already removed the IR filter from my webcam, and I have an IR LED. Once I install freetrack, how do I replace my mouse by Freetrack?

I really would like to add a cheap touchscreen to my netbook!  :D

Would it be possible with a standard webcam, without removing the IR filter?

Visit Johnny Lee's website: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/projects/wii/

or search the internet with google: wiimote + touchscreen

you need a Wiimote (=100 fps ir webcam) .... about 40 euros

I already know Jonny Lee and its projects, but I have no wiimotes but I have one webcam....That's why I'm in this forum.

You just want to move your mouse pointer with your head, right? If so, you just need to tick 'mouse' in your free-track 'Output' section.
