he could have made a mint if he went to nintendo, sony or microsoft before making that video.

Some guy on my uni course invented an interactive tv element which microsoft found out about, to which they shipped him out to america to start a massively paid job with them based on his idea.

If some guy in his lounge can do this why isn't this technology already on sale? Imagine this technology with the likes of COD4 and being able to actually pop your head around a wall!

Just looking at the video on that site and I have to say I'm slightly confused. If you have to turn your head to move the camera how are you supposed to see the what's on the screen as you will now be facing away from the TV?

[ukaskew]

Why (and how) is his Wii-mote connected to the PC though? I didn't get that bit.

 

[Eskiisbest]

Can someone explain what it is for the people at work that have youtube blocked?

I'm sure it's easly 100x cooler than armageddon!

Bluetooth, the wiimote is an IR reciever, its tracking the IR LED's on his head. It then transmits this back to the PC and the on screen display is redrawn acordingly.

Its calibrated by the user so a 45 degree head turn to the right may translate to 90 degrees on screen.
