LE Head-Tracking FOV (to use with Freetrack or TrackIR)

[spybreaka]

Basically, a head-tracking mod designed to work with freetrack (http://www.free-track.net/english/) which works with any old WebCam, or something that can work with TrackIR (http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/) would be ridiculously amazing. I don't know how many people have heard about the new Sony HMZ-T1, but combined with head tracking it would make for the most immersive Skyrim experience ever. Possibly the most immersive gaming experience ever!

 

The key to head-tracking is separating head-based camera movements from character based camera movements. Right now if you move the mouse when walking, you change your view and change direction. With a head-tracking mod, the head-tracking input would need to change the angle of your view, but not shift the direction you are travelling in. i.e. your head (and thus your field of view of FOV) would need to be able to turn independently of body movement.

 

I don't know if this is actually doable within the confines of what can be modified with the tools that people generally use to mod the game. Any insight into that would be great. Keep in mind that both TrackIR has a SDK that might make this a lot easier.

 

I'd even be willing to put money towards a bounty to get such a mod done (not sure if this is against forum rules, if so please remove from this post).

 

Here's a great video from a game called Arma 2 that shows how headtracking is best implemented -

 

And a video of the new Sony VR headset (HMZ-T1):

YES! I am a big user of freetrack, and this has been done

BUT- from what i saw there is that track-ir is set to emulate mouse,

 

So. this leaves it down to the creation kit to be released. If you can mod cameras etc in there, then yeh. Otherwise...?
