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! + + + +The FaceTrackNoIR team: + +Wim Vriend +Ron Hendriks + -- cgit v1.2.3
