Space Engineers 2 Head Tracking Plugin

This plugin enables head tracking in Space Engineers 2 using the FreeTrack protocol. Head tracking applies to the cockpit, on-foot, and ship external cameras. Cockpit is enabled by default, the other two can be enabled in settings and configured individually

Prerequisites

• OpenTrack or another app that uses the FreeTrack protocol
• Space Engineers 2
• Pulsar

Configuration

Configuration is handled in the Plugins section of the SE2 application:

Tracking Sensitivity

Use this to adjust the sensitivity of the head tracking, separate values for cockpit, on foot, and external view

Sensitivity Step

This is used in coordination with the Increase and Decrease sensitivity keys, each time a key is pressed, the global sensitivity will be adjusted by this amount

Increase/Decrease Sensitivity

Press either key to adjust the sensitivity amount by the sensitivity step value

Troubleshooting

First Steps

If the tracking is not working in game, verify the following:

• Head tracking is enabled and working properly in your head tracking application
• You are executing the game with plugins enabled using Pulsar
• The head tracking plugin is enabled and the Tracking Sensitivity is above 0.00
• The log file in %AppData%\SpaceEngineers2\Temp\Logs contains the line Found shared memory map: 'FT_SharedMem'

Debugging

• The Debugging section will log additional debugging information to the game logs in %appdata%\SpaceEngineers2\Temp\Logs when enabled
