This video is impressive. Thank for sharing. Head tracking has already been discussed on this list, though. The device in question was trackIR instead of the wiimote. Looking this video, the solution proposed doesn't seem to apply to a flight simulator. In a cockpit, you are seated in front of your yoke and you are not moving around. You look *from* a fixed position, you are not looking *at* a fixed position. So you need a device that can detect head rotations, and not head translations. Except if you want to provide user the experience of a passenger moving in the plane and looking at a single window ;-) -Fred -- Frédéric Bouvier http://my.fotolia.com/frfoto/ Photo gallery - album photo http://fgsd.sourceforge.net/ FlightGear Scenery Designer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
