TrackBridge

Support

Head tracking for flight, racing & truck sims - straight from your iPhone.

Getting started

  1. Install OpenTrack on your PC (free, open source).
  2. In OpenTrack, set Input to UDP over network.
  3. Open TrackBridge and enter your PC's IP address (default port 4242).
  4. Place your phone facing you - on a stand, mount, or against your monitor.
  5. Press Start in OpenTrack, then start tracking in the app and look around in your sim.

Frequently asked questions

The game doesn't react to my head movements

Work through this checklist:

• iPhone and PC are on the same local network (same Wi-Fi / router).
• The IP address entered in the app matches your PC, and the port is 4242.
• In OpenTrack, Input is set to UDP over network and you pressed Start.
• Your PC firewall allows OpenTrack to receive incoming connections.

Which iPhones are supported?

Any iPhone with a TrueDepth camera - iPhone X or newer. Models without a front TrueDepth camera (e.g. iPhone SE) are not supported, because face tracking relies on that sensor.

The tracking drifts or the center is off

Use OpenTrack's Center function (assign a hotkey in OpenTrack) while looking straight ahead to reset your neutral position. Keep the phone stable and make sure your face is well lit and fully visible to the camera.

There's noticeable lag or stutter

Latency depends on your network. Use a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network or a personal hotspot, keep both devices close to the router, and avoid busy networks. A wired PC connection to the router also helps.

The rewarded video won't load

Ads require an active internet connection on the iPhone. If a video doesn't load, wait a moment and try again - ad availability can vary by region and time. Watching one video unlocks 4 hours of uninterrupted tracking.

Is my face or camera data sent anywhere?

No. Face and depth data are processed on your device only and are never uploaded. Only the computed head-pose values are sent, via your local network, to the OpenTrack destination you configure. See the Privacy Policy for details.

How do I change my ad consent choices?

Open the privacy options from within the app to review or withdraw your advertising consent at any time.

System requirements

• iPhone with a TrueDepth camera (iPhone X or newer)
