Parts - Head tracking unit

Anyone know where to buy a 2nd head position unit? I would like one for my computer and one for my playseat so I can simply flop USB's instead of having to keep moving all the wiring, any suggestions welcome. Will an aftermarket work? Thanks

    If you are asking about the positional tracking camera, it is not sold separately.

    In addition, is it paired with the headset, so you can't just use a spare camera. It won't work.

    You could go out and get something like TrackIR, and use their setup WITH the rift, I've thought about this for my DK1. Also free track is available, but you will have to make you own IR trackers. Also there are various open source tracking solutions, but all of these options will require another IR camera, or a really good web cam modded to be a IR camera. I use PSeye cameras. They are cheap, and can be modded easily to only see IR. If you go that route I would suggest Freetrack, and then FreePie as well to emulate other things. Good luck;O)

    Thanks,
    I was not aware the camera was specific to the headset as it seemed like it just requires a sync cable so was just looking for a 2nd one then just swap the usb's when using one or the other.
