Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the WiiRemote

This is an awesome effect and I really do hope some game companies find out about this and incorporate it into a game. This same guy also has done some other really good mods that take advantage of the IR wiimote.

Here is the guy's site which has the YouTubes for the other innovative things he has came up with for the wiimote.

Imagine what you could do with that technology, take that PS3 and 360.

I hope is the start for new Wii games, I just hope we don't need to buy extra stuff for it.

Unless you're just going to stand there and move around, they would have to give you something to control with. ;P

The whole concept of wearing something on your head just feels weird for me and extra accessories, I meant more like rockband where you need like 5 extra stuff to play, if its only 1 thing then I'm OK with it.

bump - I heard this is being used for a game already. I can't remember the game but the glasses are sold seperately - hopefully the guy here patented this stuff.

They need to have Wii Fight.
You have stuff attached to hands, feet, ect. and fight or something similar.
I'd love that.
