+
+From various users we received requests for improvements and features. If you keep sending us your ideas, we can keep
+improving FaceTrackNoIR...
+
+Installation:
+Unzip the .exe to the installation folder of FaceTrackNoIR (best rename the old .exe first). The folders in the ZIP-file
+contain support info and examples of a .INI-file (IL-2) and a script for GlovePIE.
+
+
+The following upgrades have been applied:
+
+- ‘=’ is center view
+
+- ‘BACKSPACE’ = start (+center)/stop tracking. A messagebeep is generated when tracking is resumed and the
+ headpose-data is valid again (faceAPI has 'locked on'... ).
+
+- Checkbox ‘use EWMA filter’: Ticking this checkbox will make FaceTrackNoIR filter the headpose data with
+ a so-called 'Exponentially Weighed Moving Average'. This technique was adopted from FlightGear, where
+ Melchior Franz had 'invented' it.
+ If the filter is active, the factor for each of the 6 DOF's are used. These factors determine the weight that is
+ given to previous measurements and goes from 0 - 1 (in the GUI this setting is 0 - 100). A lower value will give a quicker response (but less stable).
+
+ Remark: for FlightGear, the EWMA checkbox does nothing: the filter is embedded in the FlightGear script.
+
+- Some timing-issues with the faceAPI were resolved, so now the scanning-frequency can be higher that 20Hz.
+ We do not know yet, how this influences performance of both FaceTrackNoIR and your CPU. Experience learns, that
+ the headtracking is influenced by many factors, like CPU, video-card, framerate of the game etc.
+
+- The protocol-server that is selected in the combobox is now the only one that is started, when the tracker is started.
+ Before loading an .INI-file, please stop the tracker.
+
+- PPJoy support is added, so now FaceTrackNoIR can be used for other games too. We tested this feature with IL-2,
+ using GlovePIE to generate TrackIR data. Check out the files in the ZIP-file for instructions. PPjoy was created by
+ Deon van der Westhuysen and GlovePIE by Carl Kenner. We thank them both for their effort!
+
+
+
+Please let us know what you think of our little gadget. Posts can be made on the FaceTrackNoIR forum on SourceForge
+(http://sourceforge.net/projects/facetracknoir/forums/forum/1150910) or on the various game-forums.
+
+If anyone has used FaceTrackNoIR successfully with other games, please let us know. If you can, we would also like to receive
+examples of the .INI-file you used for that and maybe settings of other utilities needed. Thanks!
