Suggesting to devs

[MACADEMIC]

Dear Anton and team,

The inclusion of Headtracking Technology in an future update or sequel of your brilliant game is very high on my list.

There is a thread on that topic in the forum, in case you haven't checked it out yet, please do: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=12014

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

what is the headtracking tech? LIke in Gran turismo where if you move your head, the driver's head moves?

If it's about changing the view, it would never work. You wouldn't be looking at the screen anymore.

How come your avatar is Победная Звезда but you haven't joined the battle for Europe for USSR? Битва ещё продолжается!

The draft is today, so if you haven't joined, it's probably too late, depending on the rules

Hi,

Have a look here, this video shows how headtracking works. You only move your head slightly so your eyes can stay on the screen. It looks very intuitive and natural:

doesn't look like the dude was able to check 6 though.

Would the ps eye be capable of this?

Have a look further down this thread: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=12014

It seems like the Eye Toy can pretty precisely monitor headmovements, angles etc. Regarding checking his six, I'm not sure but that would depend on how much headmovement translates into change of viewing angle. It should be possible to finetune it that way.

It's the PS Eye, the Eye Toy was for ps2 and it's much weaker

I just bought one used for a good price, and have spent about 30 hours trying to get it to work in linux. The driver is still partly in development and works for a lot of people but not for me, I am probably going to have to compile it into the kernel which I'm not looking forward to, but compiling it as a 3rd-party module won't seem to work

But once I get the Eye working, I'll be able to capture decent video of BOP on my pc. I've made test recordings on the ps3 of pc and ps2 stuff, and it's better than I expected. The Eye is a very good webcam, 480p at 60fps with a 4-mic array.

Yes, you're right, and Sony seems to have a few things planned with that thing, plus some other tracking devices (see the threads).

Good luck with your programming!
