Head Tracking for Euro Truck Simulator 2 with Just a Webcam
Glance at your mirrors, lean into corners, and check the GPS by moving your head, exactly like in a real cab. ETS2 is the single most-played game among LookPilot users.
Why head tracking transforms Euro Truck Simulator 2
ETS2 supports 6DoF camera movement out of the box, and truckers use it constantly: mirror checks at junctions, leaning forward at blind corners, glancing at the route advisor. With head tracking the cabin becomes a place you sit in rather than a static screen. ETS2 players are LookPilot's largest community - roughly half of all tracked hours happen in SCS Software truck sims.
Setup in three steps
- Install LookPilot. Buy direct or on Steam, launch it, and let it find your webcam.
- Start tracking. LookPilot detects ETS2 and connects automatically (FreeTrack on Windows, auto protocol on Linux/Proton).
- Drive. Tune sensitivity to taste or grab a community preset in-app; recenter any time with a hotkey (Alt+C by default).

Common questions
Does it work with ETS2 on Linux and Steam Deck?
Yes, natively. LookPilot ships a Linux AppImage and Steam build, and the auto protocol handles Proton/Wine setups.
Will it hurt my frame rate?
No. LookPilot runs CPU-only (no GPU needed) and is heavily optimized for low overhead - recent releases cut tracking CPU use further. The 14-day free trial lets you confirm it on your own machine.
Do I need TrackIR hardware?
No. LookPilot replaces the hardware: your webcam plus a neural tracker delivers the same 6DoF head tracking games expect from TrackIR or FreeTrack.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, 14 days with the full feature set and no credit card required.
