So, this is awesome. The beginning is fairly boring, but once he shows you the end result, it's pretty damn sweet and a bit creepy looking.

Got this from the PA newspost.

We've had a post about this, it's pretty interesting, and hopefully it'll be taken advantage of in the next generation of consoles.

Damn. We've had a number of posts about this, but it is STILL DAMN exciting!

Now, someone make a FPS game using this where players stand on a Wii Fit board and shift their body weight to move.

Wow never heard of this until now. This is pretty cool. But we need a 360degree screen that you stand "inside" with maybe RF tracking to do a triangulation type thing. Can sense your position and where your eyes are facing somehow. Something awesome for arcades or a themepark I think. Motion master x10000000000000

I remember the last time this was on here, but I still can't believe it could be so simple to do so well. And add me into the "let's see some tracking games!" group.

Yeah, head tracking definitely has a lot of potential for video games, especially ones on Wii that already use motion and pointer controls.

Heck, I remember back when Boom Blox was supposed to have a mode that let you use the feature.
