New kind of game experience almost for free!

Hello folks

Do you know what is TrackIr? If not, check it out. Kinda fun to have a free look around when playing. Especially if you like simulator games or 1st person shooters. TrackIr is quite expensive, so here's something for you: A link to freelook.org, which tells you how to make it almost without any cost. All you need is webcam and little led light. Have fun! (I did this and it works fine...)

Here is a video showing that something similar can be done with Wii.
