You can now use your Sony headphones as a free real-time head tracker for race and flight simulators on PC, several hundred games already supported — enthusiast creates open-source app that translates live sensor data into in-game camera controls

Enthusiast Nicholas Slattery has created an open-source app called Sony Head Tracker that turns your Sony headphones into a free head tracking device for PC games. The app reads the live sensor data from your Sony devices and translates it into controls that OpenTrack can use, enabling enhanced realism in over 200 games, particularly race and flight simulators. This development is significant for gamers looking to upgrade their immersive experience without the hefty price tag of dedicated tracking devices. It's a brilliant example of how community-driven innovation can unlock new potentials for existing hardware.
