It has been a while that I tried Star Citizen. With the new Neuralnet Tracker plugin (AI haha) for OpenTrack we get head tracking without annoying IR LEDs or reflecting stripes just by reading the webcam video feed. This is apparently fast enough to try head tracking without a dedicated head tracker nowadays. And all that on a Linux PC. Took some fiddling but the concept still works. What a time to be alive.

what needs to be done to get around error protocol dylib load failure ?

This sounds a lot like FaceTrackNoIR but I haven’t messed with that since I got a VR headset. Good to see stuff like this still getting development

It does have some protocol overlaps especially for UDP. Not that it's very complicated but it helped me when I implemented this in FreeSpace Open to get head tracking working on Linux PC too 🤓
