==> but the Wiimote is also used as a camera in the demo for me, it seems possible with a PSeye

The PS eye is a standard camera, n'est-ce pas? That means you would have to a) track some sort of bright, unnatural color that someone would have to wear, or some visible-light LEDs, or something. The great thing about the Wiimote's camera is that it reads in IR light, which is beyond human range of vision. So you can have something like 2 IR LEDs broadcasting light all over the place without annoying people. I wouldn't want to have to have glowing visible-light LEDs anywhere keeping track of where I was. It would be distracting - especially if they were near my head (as in the video).
If I am wrong, and the PSeye can 'see' the IR (or, I guess, UV, but that opens a whole different set of problems) spectrum, all the more power to it; but in this case, this is a practical use of the Wiimote's camera that is less feasible with the eye by virtue of annoyingness, in my opinion.
Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.
