-FaceTrackNoIR (v. 1.0.0).
+FaceTrackNoIR (v. 1.6.0).
-FaceTrackNoIR is a head-tracker, which uses the FaceAPI provided by SeeingMachines. It was made using Visual Studio 2008 and Qt.The major advantage over other headtrackers is, that it uses a simple webcam to track the face of 'the gamer'. There is no need for expensive equipment or even Borg-like devices with LED's and such.

Installation:
To install the program, simply start Setup.exe and follow the directions. Use the desktop-icon to start FaceTrackNoIR.
Compatibility:
-FaceTrackNoIR is made for Windows and tested on XP, Vista and Windows7. The FaceAPI creators recommend a dual-core processor or better. Because the 'non-commercial' version of the FaceAPI is used, the webcam can not be 'chosen': it always uses the first webcam it finds! When FaceTrackNoIR is started, the name of this webcam is displayed.

Games:
-Until now, FaceTrackNoIR supports the protocol created by Free-track (ArmA 2 supports this) and FlightGear. We are working on others...
-
-Testing:
-To test the Free-track protocol, we included FreeTrackTest.exe, which was made by the Free-track team. If this works, ArmA 2 also will.
-
-Settings:
-The head-tracking settings can be loaded and saved, using the menu-items under 'File'. The last settings will automatically load on startup. It may be necessary to fiddle with these settings: the provided .ini files are not really optimized!
-
-Remarks:
-- To reduce CPU-load it is best to minimize FaceTrackNoIR before starting/switching to the game.
-- The combobox 'Game protocol' shows 3 choices, however it does not actually do anything with the selection (yet). Both Free-track and FlightGear protocols are started.
-- We are planning to make FaceTrackNoIR 'server-client' modes. This way the head-tracking can be run on one computer and the game on another. This should significantly improve performance.
+FaceTrackNoIR supports several protocols, so it can be used with several games, flight-sims and other. Check out the website for a
