Cheap PS3 Track IR next year?

Cool, now I get it, thanks for making and posting the video. It's pretty much as I envisaged it. I just didn't occur to me it would amplify the rotation so it's not 1:1. That makes sense, but does it have low level dampening so that it's not hyper-sensitive in the "still" region? I guess it must have because it doesn't appear jittery in the video...

In fact I'm surprised that no-one has come out with a system that does this..

Many people have done this, but it requires a screen or screens really close to your eyes. The other advantage with this is you can have independent screens for each eye, which also yields true 3D vision (by rendering a scene from two slightly different camera angles). The downside, however, and the reason why none of them have made it to market yet, is that you can't play for very long without feeling sick...

Got it.. I'll just include an oxygen mask that doubles as a sick recepticle, connected to a bucket. I'm gonna be rich!

Very interesting discussion here. The Track IR thing looks really neat and I really hope that the consoles get something like this in the near future. Would make a ton of difference playing games where head movement is important ie. fps games, racing games and flying games.
