FaceTrackNoIR v200 is a modular head-tracking software package designed to translate real-world head movements into in-game camera controls, primarily used by flight and racing simulation enthusiasts. Released as a significant update to the original open-source project, v200 introduced a "micropayment" model to support continued development while remaining a low-cost alternative to hardware-heavy tracking systems.
