TrackIR - Head Tracking for Game Play

This technology looks like it works very well. I have seen lots of 2 LED motion sense units but the third LED seems to add lots to the capability. Now if only someone came up with an open source version of it since the prices seem a bit high.

"As you move in your chair and rotate your head small amounts : your game-view will precisely correspond. You never have to look away from the monitor because all aspects of your motion are amplified and adjustable. There are only 6 ways you can move around in 3D space. There are 3 ways to lean, and 3 ways to rotate. The technical term for all of these movements is "6 Degrees of Freedom" (or "6DOF"). True 6DOF support is one of the main things that puts TrackIR well ahead of any other input device."
