Flightsim fanatics have had TrackIR for quite some time now, but this is simply fantastic.

Hmm... Hmm..

Here's an interesting idea. Seriously.. this could work...

Suppose you were to point IR (or whatever spectrum is necessary) lights at your face, have a remote or camera or whatever then track THE REFLECTION IN YOUR EYES! It would be similar to the red-eye effect you get when you use a flash, but with nonvisible light. No equipment required except for a single unit that sits on top of your monitor!

Crap I have to copyright this...
