A growing number of Elite Dangerous commanders are using OpenTrack, an open-source software that enables head tracking via a standard webcam. This tool allows players to control their in-game camera by moving their heads, simulating VR-like camera movement without requiring VR hardware. It enhances immersion and situational awareness, particularly during fast flybys and ship maneuvers. As a free and accessible option, OpenTrack is gaining traction among players seeking improved camera control without investing in VR setups, potentially influencing gameplay styles and community recommendations.
