    Head tracking for Wii - One stop closer to Virtual Reality

    YouTube - Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the WiiRemote

    This has insane potential. It obviously can't be implemented for every game, but damn.

    Johnny Lee, who we're now elevating to the status of superhero around here, is back with an all-new Wii-centric project: Wii in 3D, thanks to head tracking. What's head tracking? Here, it's centered around mounting a sensor bar on your head (which is much cooler than it sounds) so that the software (and a Wii remote) can track the position of your head and allow displays to take on a full three dimensional scope, thus turning a flat screen into something more like a window. The result? Why, it could mean games that look like full-on virtual reality. Check out the video above, which was too good not to be in our weekly spotlight, to see just what it all means.

        I'm sure it's not as amazing in real life, but it could be a neat novelty (say, a new way of watching TV)
