What is SmoothTrack: Head Tracker? Description of SmoothTrack: Head Tracker

SmoothTrack uses the AR capabilities of your phone to provide the simplest and best head tracker for 6 degrees-of-freedom head movements in your sim games.

ANY iOS 13 DEVICE IS SUPPORTED!

----
"The best new controller on the market will only set you back $9.99. It's a smartphone app called SmoothTrack." - Polygon

Customer reviews:

"SmoothTrack just works. Less than 5 minutes to install, setup and fly. Love not being tethered to my desk! 5 stars!!"
"This worked perfectly and way better than expected! Totally enhanced my experience with MFS 2020!"
---

It's a near magical experience to seamlessly slightly move your head and have your game perspective immediately play along (the movements in the game are exaggerated so that you only have to make slight movements of your head to control the camera).

- Simply lean forward to get a closer look at your Flight Simulator cockpit!
- Look a bit up to see the overhead panel of your A320!
- Simply shift your head a bit to the right to see the direction of the space station you're approaching in Elite: Dangerous!
- Look a bit left before a hard left turn in Euro Truck Simulator 2!


No headset or extra equipment of any kind is required! Simply set up your device so that it can see your face. Using the on-screen controls, you can shift your perspective in-game.

Your head movements are slightly exaggerated which enables you to look out of a cockpit side window with just a slight movement of your head to the left.

Any game that supports the FreeTrack or TrackIR protocol will work with this, including:

- Microsoft Flight Simulator
- Microsoft FSX
- DCS World
- Elite: Dangerous
- IL2: Sturmovik
- Euro Truck Simulator 2
- Kerbal Space Program
- ...and many, many others!

INSTRUCTIONS (included in the app):

1. On your computer, install and run the latest version of the free program "OpenTrack". It is available on GitHub at http://github.com/opentrack/opentrack/releases
2. In OpenTrack, as "Input source", choose "UDP over network". As Output, choose "Freetrack 2.0 Enhanced", as its sub-type "Both".
3. Make sure the UDP port OpenTrack is using is open both on your firewall and router.
4. Find the IP address of your PC by running 'ipconfig' in a Command Line - look for "IPv4 Address".
5. Now, in SmoothTrack, set up your IP address and port in the settings
6. Press "Start" in OpenTrack
7. Tap Play here in SmoothTrack and you should see the OpenTrack octopus move around, which means any game that supports TrackIR will now be supporting your head tracking! If the octopus is not moving, then check Troubleshooting for more detailed instructions.

Email support is provided if there are any issues (or if you have any ideas for new features!).

SmoothTrack: Head Tracker Pros

Very ImpressedI bought this gem today and I am very impressed. I have TrackIR but I am constantly struggling with it. I installed it on to my old iPhone SE. Setup was fairly easy, just like the tutorial except if you have a anti-virus program you will want to use their firewall setting procedure or temporarily turn it off to set up per the tutorial. Either way it was pretty simple. I flew the Hornet and Huey in DCS for about an hour and not a single problem. I am looking forward to your upgrade that allows a USB connection mentioned by someone else as I do travel a lot and would have no access to do port settings. I rate it five stars because their isn't six..AG-51 ThudVersion: 1.04

This app is a game changerIf you’re looking for a head tracking solution for your gaming..stop. You’ve found it. This product delivers the immersion that gamers require without having to invest $$ into tech like TrackIR. It delivers the same experience across the same suite of games. All it requires is a modicum of technical knowledge and the ability to follow simple directions. Do not hesitate to purchase this app. It’s going to put an entire product line on its ear..AirSim1000Version: 1.01

SmoothTrack: Head Tracker Cons

Just as good as everyone says….Perhaps this is more of a bug report than a review, but I do give John props for creating an easy-to-use alternative to TrackIR. The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars, though, is that even though Smooth Track app appears to support multi-tasking on my iPad Pro (4th Gen, 12.9”), when I bring up another app — either floating on top of SmoothTrack or in the split screen along side it — the inset image in the Smooth Track screen showing my face & X,Y,Z lines freezes up. The rest of the app’s interface seems to still be responsive, but the camera inset. When I close Foreflight (or whatever other app I am running along side it), the inset window returns to normal operation..FlyerInSFVersion: 1.05

Mobile Improvement SuggestionThis works pretty well. I’ve tried a few of these types of things and this is the best so far. I would like to suggest making the mobile app capable of using other apps simultaneously. I use flight simulations and the iPad is great for instruments. Would like to start SmoothTrack and swipe to another app without this app pausing..VlladnekVersion: 1.05
