SUPPORTS ANY DEVICE WHICH CAN INSTALL GOOGLE AR SERVICES.

SmoothTrack provides 3D head tracking for intuitively controlling your sim game's camera, using the AR capabilities of your device. Any game that supports TrackIR works with SmoothTrack!

----
"The best new controller on the market...if you're flying a plane on PC, you need to check it out." - Polygon

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 magnified 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 simple camera gestures, 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.

Includes a dark mode to save your battery and your OLED screen, as well as a bright mode for playing in a dark room!

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

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

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

Here's what's new in this HUGE update of SmoothTrack:

* Brand new and improved UI, rewritten from the ground up to be 93% less ugly!
* new 120 fps mode, using interpolation to send data to OpenTrack twice as often!
* new camera gestures to quickly set camera offsets - one finger pan for panning the view, two finger pan for moving up/down/left/right, three finger pan moves forward/backward/left/right!
* new quick view UI on the main screen for storing offsets as quick views!
