Checked the centre of balance for the rotocaster outer frame. Looks like I'll have to use some counterweights. https://t.co/ctixOS3vFC 14:50:39, 2016-05-18
The frame is going to be a couple of cm wider on one side due to the pulleys. Had hoped the motor would counterbalance that. 14:51:56, 2016-05-18
But to balance without the frame at all, the motor is already going to need positioning right at the limit of the frame. 14:52:41, 2016-05-18

My VR headset has shipped and is apparently on a 7-10 day estimate! Considering how to add positional tracking to it. 01:53:27, 2016-05-12
Apparently the wiimote camera reports brightness and dot size as well as 4 IR dot positions. Enough for basic location tracking. 01:58:38, 2016-05-12
Shame the Pi Zero can't handle a camera module. Would seem a "simple" way of adding an eye-tracking camera. 02:03:15, 2016-05-12
