How TrackIR Works

Moving Your Head Changes the View
As you move in your chair and rotate your head small amounts, your game-view will precisely correspond.

You never have to look away from the monitor because all aspects of your motion are amplified and adjustable.

Degrees of Freedom
There are only 6 ways you can move around in 3D space. There are 3 ways to lean, and 3 ways to rotate.

The technical term for all of these movements is "6 Degrees of Freedom" (or "6DOF").

True 6DOF support is one of the main things that puts TrackIR well ahead of any other input device.

TrackIR Enhanced Mode
When a game developer builds support for TrackIR directly into the code for their game, we call that game "TrackIR Enhanced".

TrackIR is a new form of input that doesn't affect the mouse, keyboard and joysticks you are already using.

Those other inputs are now freed to do the things you'd expect your hands to be doing, completely independent of your new head-tracking view controller.

3D From A Flat Screen
This whole experience is commonly called a "VR fishtank" method (as opposed to the "VR Goggles" experience you may have seen in movies), because you don't have to wear any sort of headset or hardware.

Everything is handled using advanced motion capture techniques.

The point of TrackIR is to make controlling your game's view completely seemless and natural.

You will forget you have TrackIR setup at all, because looking at your monitor is like looking through a window into a 3D world.

You Want 6DOF Control, Even For a 2DOF Game
TrackIR tells your game exactly where your head is, in 3D space. Not all games take full advantage of this input, because there wasn't an easy and cheap way to control your game in 3D space before TrackIR.

But since TrackIR knows exactly what you're doing, it will be easier to control the game.

For example, leaning to the right won't be mistaken for turning your head. That's the benefit of separately tracking all of the "6 Degrees Of Freedom" in which you can m
