===OSS Linux headtrack for FlightGear===
Developed by Ralph Glass and Meir Michanie.
'''EasyHeadTrack''' is an Addon for '''Flightgear''' that allows you to use a simple webcam in order to track the pilot position in the x,y and z axis.
'''EasyHeadTrack''' just works out of the box.
* It is available for '''Linux'''.
* Simple '''FlightGear''' interface.
* Configurable within '''FlightGear'''.
* Just works (no need to recalibrate when it looses track)
* Only webcam required, face tracking with '''opencv''' without any markers
* X,Y,Z axis supported
* Not quite as sensible as marker based solutions but good enough, so no need to wear a funny hat ;-)
'''EasyHeadTrack''' is available at [http://gitorious.org/headtrack]
