Star Citizen with head tracking from XR glasses in SBS mode on Linux PC - Yes it works!

time6 mo agoview91 views

So I was asked if my head tracking approach of reading the IMU data from my Viture Pro to OpenTrack and SBS (side-by-side) mode with ReShade would also work with StarCitizen.

Guess it does 🤷

I start Star Citizen via Lutris (and not with Steam), which requires slightly different settings once ReShade is installed:

Enable Gamescope: ON Output Resolution: "3840x1080" Game Resolution: "3840x2160" (set this also ingame!) Custom Settings: "--scaler stretch"

Can this get you banned? Who knows 🤷 Jury is still out on this. Do I care? Nope. I won't miss my puny starter pack.

YMMV.

The proof of concept code to read the IMU data can be found at https://github.com/bekopharm/xr_to_opentrack (pending changes).

It works with the Breezy GNOME xr_driver: https://github.com/wheaney/breezy-desktop (but the Vulkan one works probably too but that's untested). It should also be compatible with other glasses that have IMU for Breezy available.

There is a SBS of this video, that I set to unlisted. You will need XR glasses that do FULL SBS though to watch it: https://makertube.net/w/r4RK6jNpeJ4VDC1gernanJ
