This is my second headtracking test. Now I pass the results of my 2-marker tracking algorithm to an OpenGL virtual environment test program, which uses that date to calculate my head's position in 3D space. This calculated head position, is then used as a viewpoint for the virtual environment. Being able to watch the 3D environment from different angles, by natural motions of ones head, gives a higher level of immersion in the virtual world. The code for this experiment is available for GNU/Linux on my subversion repository: svn://nuclear.dnsalias.com/pub/compvis/cam_test (camera tracking program) svn://nuclear.dnsalias.com/pub/compvis/vr_test (3D environment test program) svn://nuclear.dnsalias.com/pub/libwcam (v4l webcam library)

BumpTop: Free Virtual Desktop Environment
Bumptop is a free program that gives you a virtual desktop environment to work with. You can pile icons, grid icons, post sticky notes, put icons on the "walls", grow/shrink icons, and more. There's also a commercial version of the software, which is available for $39.99 (USD), which offers more features than the free version. For example, the commercial version allows you to give any folder a virtual environment as well.

Run Windows on Ubuntu Linux with Virtualbox
Anyone can run Windows in a virtual environment on Ubuntu Linux. It is very similar to Virtual PC (Made by Microsoft) You need a copy of Windows and an internet connection (to download Virtualbox)................. The Video is a little choppy because of my screen recording program... But it runs smooth on my desktop. Sound does work but I haven't configured sound with my screen recorder. Anyways Yes you can run Windows programs on Linux (Aside from intense graphics games) You can however get another program called "Wine" to run many windows programs (including 3D Games) Do your research and you should be surprised at what you can do on Linux :) Cheers!
