[QUOTE="Robert Misner, post: 221759, member: 4788"] Since settling on a primary view for the camera mod that works best for cab mode I've been wondering what else can we do to further enrich the experience. I've been messing around with the idea in the back of my head of using the Presets to simulate slight changes in perspective vs completely different viewpoints. More shift right and glance left, and shift left and glance right..and just hunkering down lower like people do when they play to see parts of the table better or just have a better line to a shot. I tested creating a few camera views to simulate this..I think they might be too pronounced but you will get the idea. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/75cdD6n.gif[/IMG] With an addition to the Camera mod to allow 4 presets and an option to push and hold these views could be mapped to keys or the right analog stick on a joystick for example. With your thumb you could push a direction to change perspective and on release it would return to the default centered view. Another idea is something like Freetrack. [URL="http://www.free-track.net/english/freetrack/qu-est-ce-que-c-est.php"]http://www.free-track.net/english/freetrack/qu-est-ce-que-c-est.php[/URL] Basically it's a free head tracking software utility for games. I don't' think the camera mod will be able to provide real time head tracking BUT Freetrack does have a single point mode that can be used to trigger keystrokes..so leaning left could trigger the hotkey for the left view preset and leaning right could trigger the hotkey for right view preset, and ducking could trigger the low view preset.. Its something I might just experiment over the winter with, but I'm curious if anyone else has used freetrack and has any insight to trying something like this for Pinball? I know future pinball supported some kind of headtracking but that was coded into the game it would have to not rely on that. [/QUOTE]
