[[TrackIR]] is a virtual reality personal computer control device developed by NaturalPoint. It can track the user's head movements in full 6DOF, on the X-, Y- and Z-axis and, using this data, can communicate with an arbitrary program where the user's head is pointing and thus update the screen as if they were looking around. For example, with a flight simulator, the player can look around the cockpit.


== What is TrackIR? ==
The sensitivity is scalable in order to avoid the user having to turn their head so much away from the screen that they will be unable to keep looking at it. Only very fine movements are needed to operate the device.


TrackIR is a very unique gaming device that allows the game to detect where your head is moving and translate it to your character in game.  
[[:Category:ArmA: Armed Assault|{{arma1}}]], {{GameCategory|arma2|link= y}}, {{GameCategory|arma3|link= y}} and [[:Category:Take On Helicopters|{{tkoh}}]] all support this device, but ensure you have the latest version of TrackIR software and latest game list update (available {{Link|http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/downloads/|here}}).


It is anticpated that [[:category:Armed Assault|Armed Assault]] will support this device.

TrackIR is a virtual reality personal computer control device developed by NaturalPoint. It can track the user's head movements in full 6DOF, on the X-, Y- and Z-axis and, using this data, can communicate with an arbitrary program where the user's head is pointing and thus update the screen as if they were looking around. For example, with a flight simulator, the player can look around the cockpit.

The sensitivity is scalable in order to avoid the user having to turn their head so much away from the screen that they will be unable to keep looking at it. Only very fine movements are needed to operate the device.

Armed Assault, Arma 2, Arma 3 and Take On Helicopters all support this device, but ensure you have the latest version of TrackIR software and latest game list update (available here).
