Wireless EDTracker in the pipeline. Nice :)

So, after crunching some imaginary numbers on this whole VR thing, I decided that headtracking would be the most viable option for me until VR becomes more mainstream (read: less pricey). Probably a year or two down the line in my case.

The EDTracker Pro (http://www.edtracker.co.uk/shop/my-basket/edtracker-pro) is looking like the bees knees, but playing in our living room means that cable clutter spikes the wife factor like crazy.

So I wrote them asking if a wireless version was under consideration, and sure enough, they replied that indeed it was, but that no date could be set. But hopefully spring 2016! :)

So I'll be saving my pennies for a little longer, contemplating what the future might hold. :)

Fly safe all

Lets hope it's smaller than a brick to strap to your headset!

Certainly interested when it's ready. I've got a self built non-magneto and a pre-built magneto version so I might as well get the set :)

Yeah wireless ED Tracker sounds good. I'm using the DelanClip with FaceTrackNoIR and a PS Eye (PS3) camera (removed IR filter myself, bit fiddly) atm. Works a treat.

Remove IR Filter (you don't have to but it works better without) https://codelaboratories.com/research/v ... isassembly

I've been using mine since April 2014.

"But if yours is cheaper (and maybe even better?) and shippable within a short time, heck I might be game. :) " ... You Player Globus!!!

Does sound interesting though.
