TrackIR3 Pro Head-Tracking System For Gamers

simfan writes "Ars has a review of the TrackIR3 Pro up that's worth a look. Using the TrackIR cursor control system originally designed to help the disabled, the company made a device that tracks your head movements in games. It turns out that this works really well in flight sims and other games where you can replace mouse control. There's some video of the performance as well."

So, what happens in my flight sim when I Sneeze?

I can see it now, just before landing you start to feel a tickle in your nose.

Being serious for a moment, maybe they could use that as a marketting point.

"For every 3 gamers who buy one of these, we give one to a disabled person who desparately needs it". Do it right, they may be able to set themselves up as a charity and get tax breaks

World Vision spends rediculous percentage of its donations on marketting, but they've worked out (I hope) that the net amount of money passing to the causes they promote is maximised in this way.

So how about a charity or company who works to provide benefits to the disabled? And to top it all off, we never need feel guilty about computer games again.

"Get off the computer"

"I can't, Mum. I'm helping a disabled guy".
