Ok you may have heard the term head tracking but not really understood what it is, this guy walks you through what and how to achieve great head tracking. This would make video games even more awesome and realistic than they already are, be warned that the video starts out a bit slow, but if you fast forward to the end of the video you can see how this guy uses a Wii remote and sensor bar to create an engrossing 3D environment. What do you guys think?
Thanks goes to the guys over at Penny-Arcade for bringing this video to light!

this.. is.. AMAZING! God I can’t wait to play a game like COD4 with head tracking, it would look so real! could you imagine a REAL 3-d video game? Now all you need is this and the wrap around gaming monitor at the CES 2008 show. The one that curves around the player.
Imagine what kind of dead or alive games could be ma- I need to be alone now.
If you guys go to his website there’s another video of using the wiimote and an infared LED to make a cheap interactive whiteboard. So I figured I’d actually use my wii for once and I actually set it up, it works pretty well, i just need to find a decent place to put my wiimote so it can see my full screen.
Yeah, the whiteboard one was on here too. It’s really awesome.
