MouseLook: the protocol to add headtracking to games and applications which do not support headtracking.

Info:

Though many games currently support headtracking, there are still applications that don't. For these we have added the MouseLook protocol.

 

The MouseLook protocol translates the head-movement from the tracker into a mouse-position on the screen. So moving your head left, can move the mouse-pointer left etc. "Serious" applications for disabled people can benefit from this, but also older FPS-games can be improved using this protocol.

 

In 2017 the MouseLook protocol was improved, so that the mouse can be controlled more accurately.

Advantages:

  • The protocol supports virtually every application!

Downloads:

The new version of the MouseLook-Protocol can be downloaded from the download page.

Settings:

MouseLook settings

Mouse style: the mouse position is written using DirectX, which supports two modes: Absolute and Relative. Try which one works best for your application.

 

Map xyz to: the selected output will be used to write the position of X, Y or wheel.

Sensitivity: the output will respond faster with a higher value. This can also be changed using Windows Mouse settings

 

Use Virtual Desk: the output is mapped to the entire desktop, not just the visible part.

 

Algorithm: the FreeLook 360 algorithm modifies the output (of yaw and pitch) based on the difference between consecutive output-values. If the output is within the deadzone, the value is not changed.

Known Issues and limitations:

  • You may need to configure a shortkey to stop the tracker, since it may be a bit tricky to move the mouse manually;
