Nintendo planning another Wii accessory. Head Tracking, here we go?

head-tracking (at least demonstrated by Lee) uses two stationary points on the head. by tracking the distace between the 2 points and the location of the point, it can head-track

with one wiimote on the head and the glasses that stated "do nothing", it won't give you the precises distance between you and the sensor bar, it will only be able to track your location, no distance.

Epic Fail. (Whoops, wrong thread?)

 Uh, no. MAJOR fail.

 The Wiimote tracks its precise location in relation to the Sensor Bar - in full 3D. X, Y, and Z axis positioning (provided it isn't turned away from the sensor bar). That's why, in games like Red Steel, you can move the Wiimote closer to the screen to "zoom" your gun's scope in closer.

With the Wiimote mounted on the head, it will still do EXACTLY the same thing - except in a "headtracking" method, instead. 

 

However, this patent is likely not the way this concept will be executed. This patent was most likely just protecting themselves from patent trolling.
