Demo Star Citizen with OpenTrack Neuralnet head tracking plugin (4k 30fps)(on Linux PC)

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.

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 🤓
- Does VR work nicely with SC?
  
  Not sure. I only check back in on SC every year or two. I’ve got into it at the start but me and my titan are waiting for release to really dive in. PC’s also in pieces waiting for the 9800x3d and 5090
