The OP's video looks to be at some convention.

I agree. Some guy in his basement using a wiimote and a pc does not = Wii Headtracking software. As far as I know nobody has done headtracking on the Wii or 360. I was responding to the statement that the ps3 headtracking demo is not as good as the wii headtracking. By the way, the Wiimote guy didn't invent headtracking either.

See Boom Blox. That's not the best video, and it doesn't demonstrate the headtracking part. It's only an easter egg, not a full part of the game. But it's one game that will have head tracking. Does anyone know if there are any games in development for any system that will fully use head tracking? Because as fun as headtracking looks, I don't know how much they can really do with it.

I think both videos are very well done.

 

There are loads of PC games that are compatible with TrackIR (list) but none of them are games that actually require head-tracking as part of the gameplay. It is mostly used to give a 3D effect in driving and flying games.

Head-tracking has been around for ages. It certainly wasn't invented by Nintendo, Sony or Johnny Lee.

A lot of people seem to forget that you need to purchase an extra wiimote to achieve it with the Wii, and they retail for about the same price as the PS eye, so additional costs are about the same on both platforms.
