## What it is
AITrack is a free 6DoF head tracking application that uses a webcam and neural networks to estimate head position and rotation. It streams tracking data over UDP to Opentrack, which relays it to games and simulators.

## Use cases
- track my head in flight simulators without buying TrackIR
- use a webcam for 6dof head tracking in games
- head tracking with just a phone camera via DroidCam
- look around in simulators without IR hardware
- run head tracking on a second PC and stream it to my gaming rig

## When to choose
- you want hardware-free head tracking using only a webcam or smartphone
- you already use or plan to use Opentrack with simulators
- you need decent tracking in poor lighting or with glasses on

## When to avoid
- you need tracking for games that don't work through Opentrack
- you want a standalone tracker that feeds games directly without Opentrack
- you need macOS or Linux support, as it targets Windows
