Headtracking has interested me for a long time since they almost included it in Steven Spielberg’s Wii game BlocBuster. The theory is that your mind determines distance based upon not solely your binocular vision (hence why many people can perceive depth perfectly with only one functional eye).
It is due to be featured in the upcoming Gran Turismo 5 for the Playstation 3. The other day I came across the below online demo that uses face recognition to achieve the same affect. As stated it actually works better with one eye closed as your brain cannot rely of the two different points of view and gets more easily tricked. All you need is a web browser, flash and a webcam. Let me know what you think!
