Am I not allowed to have a personal opinion about it? Or is this a topic for track ir users only?

You control x and y with mouse look, that's 2dof, two axis you can control. To have 6dof you need to be able to control all six which can't be done with just mouselook!

I said that Freetrack was on version 2.2something in response to someone saying it was 2.0. I also said that there are future updates planned, as can be seen on their website. That had nothing to do with how long ago its last update was.

They are trying to but that's an opinion, I think by encrypting how information from the game is accessed it is clear NP are doing their best to keep the monopoly the have on the market, if they would accept that they can't be the only ones in the market forever it would make it easier for devlopers to provide headtracking to more people. It's clear neither of us will change our position on this so I don't think there is much point in arguing it any further.

I'm trying to make you understand the difference in 6dof and the 2dof using a mouse to look around provides, i'm not really sure why i'm bothering though.

Oh god, no. By all means, have your opinion, it's entirely valid. I hope you don't think we were being rude. I just feel differently, and voiced that onion in (I hope) a reasonable manner.

So do I, Novotny




*Edit


@ Vicinity... NP doesn't have a monopoly on the market, this has already been gone over, many, many times and fair enough you tried to correct the FT version #. I have pointed out, as other/s have that the last release was 2.5 years ago. Mouse Look is Mouse Look, Vicinty, and yes there is a difference between 2Dof and 6Dof, that part is clear. However, Mouse Look is available for 6DoF, you've proved this yourself.

Incidently - you have a pm, Wolf Meister.

Thank you. And I said that if you enjoy track ir and it's at reasonable price for you I don't have a problem with that.
Oh, and rude users are the trademark of this forum. ~S~

When you say gone over, you mean you've stated it isn't as fact, giving an example of others in the market. Monopoly doesn't mean that there is NO competition at all.

From Wikipedia:
"In economics, a monopoly exists when a specific individual or an enterprise has sufficient control over a particular product or service to determine significantly the terms on which other individuals shall have access to it."

Now, explain how Natural Point is not a monopoly?

Yes but I didn't even comment about when the last update was, it isn't relevant.

No, i've said mouselook doesn't do 6dof and you've just come back with "yes it does" again and again. Give an example of a game where you can look around in 6dof using only a mouse.

It has been done to death already Vicintiy... read the thread through



It is relevant to the point made earlier on support



Mouse Look (aka Freelook) involves keyboard and mouse and I've described by name the method of such.

thanks for the PM, Novotny. I do hope my reply, as limited as it is, helps

I have read the whole thread through. You are an expert at not actually answering any questions.
