Even if you don’t have a VR headset, just move your face to change the viewpoint?

SmoothTrack is an application that can synchronize player’s facial movements with the game’s perspective if there is a smartphone camera without using a virtual reality headset. Smooth Track is still only available in some PC games.

In the demo video released by developer John Göring, the movement of the player’s gaze is reflected in the game by simply pointing his face at the smartphone camera. The game played in the video is Microsoft’s Flight Simulator. When the player moves his face to the right, the game view also moves to the right. Moving the face to the left changes the viewpoint to the left. If you place your face on the camera, the game’s perspective will also change, allowing you to manipulate while looking at the scenery.

Smooth Track is compatible with games that can be played on a PC and can be used in X-Plane, which is based on data such as NASA. Not only that, but you can also adjust the position of the game viewpoint. You can enjoy the scenery outside the cockpit that is impossible in reality.

In addition, you can see the use of Smooth Track in the Kerbal Space Program, a space development simulation game. Smooth Track can be purchased from the App Store or Google Play. If you want to use Smooth Track, you can download OpenTrack from GitHub for free to install on your PC. Related information can be found here .
