Forums - Nintendo Discussion - MotionPlus to make Head Tracking feasible? (How did we forget about this?!)

The Wiihelm wouldn't sell well, most people would just cellotape the wiimote to a bicycle helmet.

I don't understand the fascination with head-tracking.

Head tracking was possible before MotionPlus...

Wow.  Are you serious?  Have you watched the Johnny Lee videos before?  And you still aren't excited about the possibilities?  This just doesn't make any sense for me.

Same here.

Don't get it.  Who cares?

Head tracking was always feasible. Even if you wanted to mount the remote to your head for some reason (and I don't see why you would; Lee's IR glasses were a much more elegant solution), that could be done before as well, since head tracking relied on the IR sensor and not on accelerometers/gyroscopes. The MotionPlus peripheral doesn't change anything on this front.
