Downloaded the opentrack software to have a play, I put a post up in the trackhat forums with regards support on linux as was thinking about trying it. He did answer and seems genuinely interested in how it works out, he states they cannot officially support it. Offered me a refund if it dont work out. So took a chance and ordered one. Post here
Chose the trackhat as it's the cheaper option compared to most + its wireless and its based on opentrack.
A few things with opentrack, it is it needs opencv 3, also you need to edit a cmake file in order to build the evdev plugin. I can see why it's disabled though.
Wont work unless root. Permissions thing I think. Need the uinput module loadedNot really tried Linuxtrack yet
Thoughts?

A bit more useful information. Apparently the Linux head tracking stuff does work with games like Euro Truck Simulator.

Linux-track appears to be a base for others to integrate into their own program rather than a full control app like what opentrack is/does.
The dev of opentrack unfortunately does not see linux as needing or viable for gaming thus its only supported for developing on. Though how you can develop something with out testing during the development is beyond me

I know that the simulator world is a niche even in windows... but if anybody start pushing the simulator world in linux will never have a good health.
That's all ready in opentrack, look on the android store for an app called freepie.
I've tried it and it does work. Still the same problem as the protocol that a lot of games use is freetrack http://www.free-track.net/
Which is windows only :(
Edit: freetrack is what euro truck sim uses.
It's one of the reasons I posted to get the interest shown to people like the dev of opentrack .
