Watch your Head

I've put my GLSL project aside indefinitely. Partly because I just wanted to see how hard it would be to do (moderate difficulty for a noob like me), and partly because of Alex's Modernization Kit.

Instead I started a new project, one that will hopefully add a new dynamic to the gaming experience in Torque. Head tracking is nothing new, and I think a few people in the Garage Games community have done some development with the TrackIR system.

Essentially, this is a wrapper DLL that I put together with the help of NaturalPoint. It's mostly plug-n-play into Torque. All thats needed is to add a couple files into your project, add a call to initialize it, and apply the data into whatever you want. Not bad for a noob, especially one with no DLL experience. :)

Google Video of the starter.racing implementation.

I need to cleanup the code a bit, document it, and get approval from NaturalPoint. Then I think this will be a resource... pretty soon. :)
