<div class="moz-cite-prefix">head tracking:<br>
to track head movements and translate into games (ie:mouse look,
headlook)<br>
(instead of using a mouse or joystick, slight head movements
translate your view on screen, without changing your direction)<br>
<br>
ie:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpO1Wty3F3I">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpO1Wty3F3I</a> racing driver jump to
0:36<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrXOXvsgQzg">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrXOXvsgQzg</a> jump to 10:47<br>
<br>
this is headtracking using your smart phone (this is what got me
hooked :) <br>
it worked (but with 1 out of 3 phones) <br>
but headphones & smartphone made it too heavy for long periods
(and i looked like a telly tubby :)<br>
<img src="cid:part1.C26A3702.8CF8E7D7@gmail.com" alt="Image result
for telly tubby" height="118" width="67"><br>
<br>
plus always better to learn while working on something you want :)<br>
<br>
maybe i'llcheck out the shields later<br>
but I know this already works (like building a car, it works, but
noone tells you how to make the shell)<br>
<br>
well, I thought I throw a line in and see how the fish are
swimming :)<br>
<br>

Altronics Ardrino starter kit for xmas :)<br>
<br>
Hardware seams straight forward (although the small
breadboard seemed unreliable)<br>
<br>
soldered up the mpu-6050 to wires, connected to arduino, ran
ide, "IT'S ALIVE :)<br>
<br>
ran the processing teapot sketch, little plane worked (once
the drift settled down)<br>
<br>
works in both linux & windows<br>
<br>
<br>
now the hard part<br>
<br>
getting it to be reconized in games.<br>
<br>
been going gaga searching/try stuff on the net, finding,
trying, not seeing the data<br>
<br>
not sure if its because data not being presented properly
(but expect it to be part the blame)<br>
<br>
<br>
but really havent worked out what I need todo next.<br>
<br>
some how set it as a keyboard? mouse? joystick?<br>
<br>
<br>
most of the examples I found get to the testing via
ide/processing<br>
<br>
I need the last bit (but too new and feeling dumber every
minute :)<br>
<br>
<br>
Any help appreciated<br>
<br>
<br>
