Default Head Tracking on the Wii
Have a look at this and imagine what an extra dimension this would bring to gaming on the Wii.

YouTube - Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the WiiRemote

OK he's got it a bit back to front with the sensor bar and wiimote but it does show the potential. In the future Ninty could make a pair of glasses with 2 small cameras, or a hat of some sort ????....

Sorry if this is a repost...

Cheers for now, and come on nintendo I want to see this working, this looks pretty close to virtual reality.

Wow! That was excellent!! Just imagine the possibilities.............I've got this image of walking through a forest/jungle picking fruit off the trees and throwing it at that cheeky monkey swinging from a branch......sorry, starting to day dream there. But hey, if a random guy from uni has managed to do it, I'm sure Nintendo are miles in front........at least I hope they are!

That's really quite cool. I certainly hope we do start seeing technology like this, maybe it could be combined with VR glasses with LCD screens attached too so we can get full 360 degree movement rather than being limited to what we see on/through the screen.

HoS it is!

Ha ha, I've been hall of shamed....

I was wondering what HOS stood for in the link that went no where...

Well fair play to you all... I did a search for head tracking before I posted and nothing came up so I thought I was onto a winner.

Anyway I still think it's cool

I wouldn't worry too much, HOS is just a bit of fun, start worrying when the 'Banned' appears under your name.
