Head-Tracked PC Gaming: A Straightforward Windows Setup with Luxid Vue
A simple guide to trying head-tracked play with VueAR Glass and the Luxid View Windows beta: connect, switch on game tracking, launch a game, and adjust the feel.
Start with the game you already play
The idea is to add head-tracked viewing to your PC gaming setup without rebuilding your library. The game continues to run on the Windows PC. VueAR Glass acts as your personal display, and the Luxid View app adds the head-tracking mode: turn your head and the in-game viewpoint can turn with you.
You do not need to modify each game or install a separate tracking tool. The Windows app is currently in beta, so use the current Luxid View build and follow its setup notes for your PC and glasses.
A simple first session
Connect VueAR Glass to the PC through a compatible video connection, open Luxid View, and enable game tracking. Launch a game you know, then begin with small head turns and a comfortable tracking sensitivity. Try the experience while seated and in a clear, safe space; take a break if you feel discomfort.
If the response feels too strong, reduce sensitivity in the app. If you would rather keep the camera still, turn tracking off and play on the same display with your usual controls. The point is to let you choose the viewing style that suits the game.
- Use a familiar game for the first test
- Adjust head-tracking sensitivity gradually
- Keep your usual keyboard, mouse, or controller for game actions
What to expect from the beta
Luxid positions the Windows feature for AAA and other PC games. The experience can still vary by title, game settings, graphics mode, and beta build. Head tracking turns your view; it does not automatically control every game action or make the game a full VR experience.
Linux app beta support is coming soon, and SteamOS gaming support is upcoming. Until those app builds are released with their own notes, treat head-tracked game play as a Windows beta feature. For current access or compatibility questions, use the Luxid apps page or contact support@luxid.in.
