Assetto Corsa App – Real head motion v0.8.0

Assetto Corsa App – Real head motion v0.8.0

Sébastien Tixier released version 0.8.0 of his Real Head Motion App for Assetto Corsa. The mod was previously released for rFactor 2 and now found its way to the Kunos Simulazioni title.

This App simulates the eye motion generated by influences such as acceleration, gravity, mimicking the instinctive eye movements of a human in such situations.

Sébastien explains what happens.

When you are driving a car, you are looking at the road ahead. All the bumps and movements the car makes are filtered out by the counteracting eye movements, resulting in a smooth view of the road, while the car cockpit is moving around.

When you are seated in a simulator your head is not moving at all, meaning there is no eye movement needed. This creates 2 issues :
1) you can’t focus on the road, the road is shaking and not smooth, it’s difficult to drive.
2) This can generate motion sickness.

So in a simulator environment, the camera should stay focused on the track and certainly not locked to the car cockpit. In general this is what the Real head motion App is trying to simulate.
