Over the weekend I picked up Adventure Capitalist.
Pretty mindless sort of game but it had me tied up for several hours.

I played Elite Dangerous with an EdTracker Pro Wireless last night. Holy shit the difference in immersion is amazing.
I guess I haven't mentioned it yet, but I'm currently starting a small side business with a friend. We will sell our own head tracker and probably other (gaming) hardware.
We tried a few of them and eventually designed our own. Wireless, approx. 30 hours battery time (rechargeable), approx. > 170° horizontal recognition, weight approx. 50 grams / 2 oz. I could start a thread on this if anyone is interested, but please keep in mind that this is more a hobby than a business

I'm interested. I would love if someone made an open source hardware version of this kind if like the original ed tracker. I'd be interested to see someone do something like this with 6dof.

There are serveral thingiverse models available if you like a DIY solution. I'm afraid our product won't be open source. It's not exactly rocket science, most information is freely available online. But we invested a lot of effort into this (finding suppliers, designing PCB and Clip, German / EU law compliance and what not) would like to see at least some "ROI"
BTW, ours is 6 degrees of freedom.

After a full day of video games, Liesl got up early to get to the video game system before her mother did. She's playing Broken Age now.
