Logitech 3D HeadTracker

The Tracker plugs into your serial port and delivers 3 dimensional, 6 degrees of freedom (x, y, z, pitch, yaw, roll) control. Up to four HeadTrackers can be connected together to act simultaneously in VR or Simulation applications.

Ultrasonic technology eliminates metal or display interference.

The Logitech Head Tracker consists of a transmitter, helmet-mountable receiver and control box. The transmitter contains 3 speakers which emit ultrasonic signals and the receiver contains 3 miniature microphones to sense these signals. The transmitter and receiver communicate along a line of sight, facing each other. Both devices contain mounting holes to facilitate mounting in a wide variety of configurations. A control box is connected to both devices and determines the position of the receiver based on the timing of the microphone signals. Driver Software Head Tracker is shipped with driver software for PC and SGI platforms.
