Is head tracking possible with the M1 Mac mini ?

I have three monitors working with X-Plane 11 Flight Simulator. My son showed me head tracking with MS Flight Simulator on a Windows machine. I would like to stay with MAC and X-Plane. Is there any way to achieve head tracking with a 16 GB M1 Mac mini?

Mac mini, macOS 13.3

Can I use Apple Vision Pro with Mac mini without having a monitor? Is it possible to use the Apple Vision Pro with the Mac Mini without having a monitor? I have seen it done on YouTube, but I haven’t seen no mention of this in any Apple literature. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Apple Vision Pro - PRO Tips (1) If you thought your MacMini or MacPro could not ‘Connect’ to your Apple Vision Pro >> You can do it by Initiating the ScreenMirroring within Mac Mini.. as sometimes the ControlCenter within Vision Pro is intermittent success. (2) Once you are connected to MacMini (or Mac Desktop) this way >> Feel free to walk away from your desk setup AROUND YOUR HOUSE anywhere, as long your Keyboard & Trackpads can stay connected >> You can access your Desktop screen from anywhere in the HOUSE!! (3) While listening through Vision Pro built in Spatial Pods, do this >> Make a cup shape of your left hand, make a cup shape of your right hand AND hold them on each side engulfing Spatial Pods & Your ears and feel the MAGIC!! (4) Final one, interestingly, you can drag any App Window as close to you >> and you should be able to Interact DIRECTLY with it with your Finger tips (not pinch / tap or any gestures!)

Final Cut Pro - Anchor/Track object in video Hello, I am fairly new to final cut pro and am stuck on something. I have video clips that are taken with a Go pro and not a stationary camera. I would like to zoom into a particular object and keep that object in the center of the screen. Now, since the person's head was moving, when I zoom in and play the clip, the object moves all over the screen and even leaves the picture entirely. Is there a way that I can "track" a certain object so it stays in the center of the screen no matter if the video moving around? Thank you in advance!!

There is an app in the App Store called LookAround - Sim which may do what you want. It requires an Apple silicon Mac. You might also want to contact X-Plane support.

Thank you so much. I downloaded it onto an iPad and it does work across all three monitors with X-Plane 11 on a 16 GB M1 Mac mini. I won't say it was smooth, but I have only had a 1/2 hour of practice. This is exciting!
