Like VR you mean? lol my next build is when I want to finally get into VR and try all the games I haven't been able to play yet :(

No, not VR. Headtracking. The head is tracked with something like a webcam to move the camera.

oooh spiffy.

Wouldn't you look away from the screen?

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

You calibrate it so that a small head movement translates to a large camera movement.

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

That sounds better than the silly example I had in my head.

Anecdotally; I am running Manjaro, with a valve index, and other than a few need-to-disconnect-and-reconnect my HMD, it's been solid and painless.
