TrackSkull / New TrackIR 5 Camera Warning!!!
It has come to my attention that a production change to the TrackIR 5 cameras have made them incompatible with TrackSkull.
TrackIR 5 cameras with Serial 155662+ exhibit this issue.
I am currently working on resolving the issue but it may take some time.
Sorry for the trouble,
Nelson

Introducing VirtualHaunt
VirtualHaunt was developed to help haunters visualize their 3-axis skulls in virtualized 3D world. Allowing haunters to program their skeleton buddies all year long without having to pull out all of the Halloween supplies. (Which may or may not annoy many spouses, especially when setting up your Halloween buddies in the living room in July.)
VirtualHaunt works by monitoring the data being sent to a serial port and emulating the servo controller that is typically connected, so most programs will work.
Don’t have a 3-Axis skull? You can use VirtualHaunt in its place… Set up a projector in your haunt or a TV/Monitor in a window. There are lots of possibilities.
Check out Features & Requirements for more details.
