Excellent! I have made a small (mostly) Linux program that uses ARToolkit and a webcam to track a marker on the user's head. It uses Alexander's communication protocol and seems interact with FlightGear as expected. However, at this time the program is very crude and I have not managed (due to lack of time etc) to sort out the translation from quarternions to euler angles needed to support tracking of head rotation (i.e. it tracks position only). If anyone wants and have the time to play with this and improve it, they are most welcome. :) Cheers, Anders Gidenstam -- "In a world without fences, who needs gates?" --------------------------------------------------------------------- Anders Gidenstam Email: anders(at)gidenstam.org WWW: http://www.gidenstam.org/FlightGear/HeadTracking/ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
