Could this open the door to the next step...

...beyond Track IR type devices?

Seems like Kinect could do the same thing as Track IR by tracking head movement without having to wear a hat with an IR dot.

I would like to see a helmet with a good quality screen inside that wouldn't give you a headache every time you used it. Anything that negates outside stimuli while simming would be a plus.

It is already possible with FaceTrackNoIR:

I think the real next step is this:

http://www.zeiss.com/cinemizer

It has an integrated head-tracking.
I've been following the development of this product now for quite a time, unfortunatly the screen resolution is still a bit low. As soon as it hits 720p and an affordable price, I'd give it a go.

Cheers,
Mark

That looks promising. I like the concept of the kinect as you wouldn't have to wear anything on your head or your eyes.
