Community Tool Turns Sony Headphones into Head Trackers for Elite Dangerous

A new open source Windows tool developed by the Elite Dangerous community allows certain Sony headphones and earbuds to serve as head trackers in the game. By using the built-in motion sensors designed for spatial audio, the application captures yaw, pitch, and roll data via Bluetooth and integrates it with OpenTrack software. Compatible models include Sony WH-1000XM5, WH-1000XM6, WF-1000XM6, among others. This innovation provides commanders with an affordable and hardware-light option to enhance immersion and flight control without needing dedicated tracking devices.

• Uses built-in motion sensors in Sony headphones for head tracking.
• Supports models like WH-1000XM5, WH-1000XM6, and WF-1000XM6.
