SmoothTrack uses the AR capabilities of your phone to provide the simplest and best head tracker for 6 degrees-of-freedom head movements in your sim games. ANY iOS 13 DEVICE IS SUPPORTED! ---- "The best new controller on the market will only set you back $9.99. It's a smartphone app called SmoothTrack." - Polygon Customer reviews: "SmoothTrack just works. Less than 5 minutes to install, setup and fly. Love not being tethered to my desk! 5 stars!!" "This worked perfectly and way better than expected! Totally enhanced my experience with MFS 2020!" --- It's a near magical experience to seamlessly slightly move your head and have your game perspective immediately play along (the movements in the game are exaggerated so that you only have to make slight movements of your head to control the camera). - Simply lean forward to get a closer look at your Flight Simulator cockpit! - Look a bit up to see the overhead panel of your A320! - Simply shift your head a bit to the right to see the direction of the space station you're approaching in Elite: Dangerous! - Look a bit left before a hard left turn in Euro Truck Simulator 2! No headset or extra equipment of any kind is required! Simply set up your device so that it can see your face. Using the on-screen controls, you can shift your perspective in-game. Your head movements are slightly exaggerated which enables you to look out of a cockpit side window with just a slight movement of your head to the left. Any game that supports the FreeTrack or TrackIR protocol will work with this, including: - Microsoft Flight Simulator - Microsoft FSX - DCS World - Elite: Dangerous - IL2: Sturmovik - Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Kerbal Space Program - ...and many, many others! INSTRUCTIONS (included in the app): 1. On your computer, install and run the latest version of the free program "OpenTrack". It is available on GitHub at http://github.com/opentrack/opentrack/releases 2. In OpenTrack, as "Input source", choose "UDP over network". As Output, choose "Freetrack 2.0 Enhanced", as its sub-type "Both". 3. Make sure the UDP port OpenTrack is using is open both on your firewall and router. 4. Find the IP address of your PC by running 'ipconfig' in a Command Line - look for "IPv4 Address". 5. Now, in SmoothTrack, set up your IP address and port in the settings 6. Press "Start" in OpenTrack 7. Tap Play here in SmoothTrack and you should see the OpenTrack octopus move around, which means any game that supports TrackIR will now be supporting your head tracking! If the octopus is not moving, then check Troubleshooting for more detailed instructions. Email support is provided if there are any issues (or if you have any ideas for new features!).
Beats Tobii and other expensive eye trackers!
This $11 eye tracker is at par if mot better that the $200 eye trackers. Is much less of a hassle to setup and configure. No need to wear any caps or stixking sensors etc. The iphone camera works amazing with it, even in low light conditions! My setup doesnt have much ambient light around and it still tracks flawlessly! Once you set up your curves and gains it works beautifully! All you have to do is just turn the app on and open opentrack on your computer! Im thoroughly impressed!
Love it in iRacing
This has been incredibly stable and useful in sim racing (iRacing). I finally realized that my phone should be mounted separately from my desk, monitor, “rig” — anything affected by my direct drive wheel base — so that the phone is not affected by vibrations. The added immersion- of being able to look side to side and around sharp turns - is simply wonderful while racing. Thank you for this awesome, affordable solution!
Absolutely Great
Works right out of the box and exactly as intended. Great head tracking solution for anyone who doesn’t want to spend $2-300 on TrackIR. I highly recommend.
Amazing value
For just 10 bucks you get a head tracking solution that drastically improves your experience in games like MS Flight Simulator. If you don’t already have dedicated head tracking hardware this is a no brainer. Tip: gradually increase the sensitivity as you get accustomed to the motion so you can look all the way to the side without twisting your neck and eyeballs too much.
Suggest to add the option to use back camera
This is a great app, works flawlessly for flight sims. I would like however the optio to use backside camera instead of the front camera.
Used to be great
This app was fantastic and used to hook right up. Now I’ve done everything I can think of and this app will not connect to my PC. and there’s not help online…”No Route to Host” is this apps favorite thing to say. I’ve done everything online and nothing. Disappointing app
One of the best add ins for flight sim
As a former rw pilot of 22 years and avid flight summer in the past after a 10 year hiatus I broke down and got a new computer and msfs 2020. When setting up with latest hardware and some ancient the sim still didn’t feel real. As a past user of tracker ir I thought I would give this app a try. After a challenging setup mostly due to windows 11 idiot proofing thanks to the great help files included with the app got it up and running. I am not exaggerating that the realism of the sim went up about 80%! As a former user of tracker ir this does it all with no wires and no headset. With an iPhone stand I have my phone charging on a great almost unseen place to the left of my velocity yoke and this thing just works-perfectly. One of the best most useful add ins for flight simulator! Extremely happy!
Bug fix for an issue in which data would still be sent to OpenTrack during the calibration phase, causing a "drift" to occur during this phase. v1.08
