DelanCamUtil

This is a little macOS Utility that will put Delan Engineering Ltd's "Delan Cam 1" IR-Camera into the right state for IR Head-Tracking using Opentrack (that's the window with the octopus). The camera won't work optimally right out of the box and this is where DelanCamUtil will save you from the hassle of finding ways to adjust the camera's settings and to make them persistent.

Once started the DelanCamUtil app will only be visible as a little menu-item and configure the camera's exposure on app start and whenever it is connected or re-connected. You can also manually push the settings to the camera via the respective menu item. When the camera is connected the icon will be filled - otherwise not. Simply run the app before you start tracking and you're good to use it with Opentrack for say a flight in X-Plane or perhaps a windows-game you run via wine given. Some users simply even have added DelanCamUtil it to their login-items so its starts automatically and they don't even need to think about it anymore.

The app is digitally signed by me and notarised by Apple meaning it was checked for malicious code and is approved for distribution.

I'm kindly asking you for your financial support allowing me to continue my work on DelanCamUtil and particularly Opentrack for macOS. You can pay what you want.

System-Requirements:

Please make sure you that your "Delan Cam 1" camera matches the following product and vendor ids as this is the only device being supported and tested at this time:

  Product ID: 0x1234

  Vendor ID: 0x0120

You can verify these by opening Apple's "System-Profiler" app and find the device in the USB section.

The app is optimised for Apple-Silicon but works in intel-Macs as well. It's been tested on macOS Sonoma and Sequoia but should be compatible with macOS BigSur upwards.
