Check out the last video on this web page:

This virtual reality head tracking could seriously change the way we play video games.

Just comment on what you think of this!!!

Yeah, I saw that several months back. It's pretty dang sweet if you ask me. I really don't know why no one has made a game using that idea.

Ooh, why haven't they made games with this yet?! This is exactly the sort of cool innovation I bought the Wii for!

Aye.. it'd be simple enough to do. Ship a game with some of those IR goggles, have the gamer put their wiimote in front of the TV, and use a second wiimote to play.

I bet it'd sell like crazy.

oh... my... god...
I would buy the Wiimote without having a Wii just to do his kind of stuff...
