Head Tracking using the WiiRemote (a Johnny Lee production!)

YouTube - Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the WiiRemote

Johnny Lee does it again..... this time he uses the WiiRemote to do head-tracking. The results are awesome. The video is a must see to see how realistic 3D environments can be made using head-tracking.

Head tracking - is where hardware is used to detect the person's head relative to the display. Tracking the head - lets the software know where the user is looking and hence can change the display - thereby giving the user a 3D view into a 2D display. Check out the video and it will all make sense!
