    Mostly simulators. Tracks your face by various means, webcam, IR, etc. When your head moves your camera moves.

        I think I heard of them being used in Arma/Milsims so you can turn your head slightly left or right, so your character looks to their left and right on monitor.

          Thats pretty interesting! Sounds like a niche enough thing that would need specific attention to get working.

            I was into Elite Dangerous for a while and was able to use TrackIR and the voice packs on Linux by running it on the same prefix.
