TrackIR 5 Video Review by Matthew Suchodolski

Matthew Suchodolski presents his video review of the TrackIR 5 Premium head tracking device by Natural Point.

This 6 DOF head tracker will try to add an extra sense of immersion to a variety of first person games, and therefore, have proven very useful in a sim racing environment. The TrackIR can increase your situational awareness by turning real head movements into virtual head movements, enabling you to actually look around into the three-dimensional gaming space.

After unboxing and looking at the details of the actual hardware and TrackIR Software package, Matthew fires up iRacing to test the performance while actually racing.
