I know from reading that head-tracking with trackir and the like is going to be supported eventually, but what of those of us who don't have such setups?
In flightgear, if you run linux, there's a hack (which if i understand just sends mouse signals) that implements head-tracking with a webcam, using
https://github.com/ralph-glass/headtrack
I understand that's GPL, so thats a difficulty (i believe) but please implement some sort of webcam head-tracking if possible.
NB. Primarily interested in the world buliding game.

Do you know how hard it is to get a 51 frame gif under 10kb at a decent resolution?

Looks interesting. How much does it tax the computing resources?
If I understand the description correctly, there's a serving program that is GPL, but a receiving program doesn't have to be - it just receives datagrams with head position/orientation.

I would have no idea. Unfortunately my main computer isn't running linux, and on my old computer flightgear barely runs in the first place so i've never bothered doing it.

A free Face Tracking API is available for use with a webcam. Works pretty well if your webcam can capture at a high framerate.
A friend made a tutorial complete with links .. Have a go cameni.
