Video: The future of 3D gaming

What happens when a Carnegie Mellon PhD candidate gets a Nintendo Wii to play with? A quantum leap forward in 3D gaming based on head tracking. Using off-the-shelf Wii tech and a little homebrew software, student Johnny Lee can turn any standard 2D monitor into an immersive 3D virtual reality portal.

Throw in a little fine tuning and some eyetracking tech, and you’ve got the next wave of groundbreaking first-person shooters or sports games.

Hat tip to George Ou for alerting me to this little gem.
