I´m planning on playing some games with a new stereoscopic HMD and headtracker (like VirtuaTrack or InterTrax 2). The stereoscopic viewing hits the framerate per second pretty hard. Adding a headtracker, it should be even worse. How much worse? And to compensate for this, should I buy a better videocard, CPU or more RAM? What part of the PC is being hit by the headtracker? | ||

What Stereo HMD are u gonna use? I would think ur better with trial and error yourself.. See what works and doesn't before people give you thier setup... | ||

alot of the headtrackers just act like mice. I've got the virtuatrack, I can use it to move my mouse on the desktop, along with using mouselook in most games. think virtuatracks new driver can be keymapped too. I haven't seen it hurt the PC perfomance much. It does flip out if you don't have it configured right, i end up with the character spinning in circles looking at the sky sometimes, very bad when running from missiles. still though, I haven't seen much of a hit on performance, but it might depend on the hardware your running. | ||

None. Consider moving the mouse in a first person shooter... it doesn't have any impact on performance. Same deal with the head tracker. The only tracker that might have a hit on performance is the CCD camera one, as it's partially software based. | ||

just buy a gyromouse. They're cheaper. | ||

I´ll soon buy a HMD so a gyromouse is out of the question. Anyway, I thought a headtracker could be used simultaneously with a mouse? I was hoping to use a headtracker in games that don´t have mouselook. | ||

Is it possible? |
