Johnny Chung Lee, a Graduate PhD student in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, has been working on a few applications for Nintendo's Wii motion tracking capabilities. One of his projects makes some mind-blowing use of the Wii Sensor Bar to what he calls "a portal to a virtual environment."
From Johnny Chung Lee: "Using the infrared camera in the Wii remote and a head mounted sensor bar (two IR LEDs), you can accurately track the location of your head and render view dependent images on the screen. This effectively transforms your display into a portal to a virtual environment. The display properly reacts to head and body movement as if it were a real window creating a realistic illusion of depth and space." I'll let his video do the talking. You have to see it in action below. If this kind of stuff can make it into games.... wow. From Johnny Chung Lee's Wii Project page
