Using the infrared cam­era in the Wii remote and a head moun­ted sensor bar (two IR LEDs), you can accur­ately track the loc­a­tion of your head and render view depend­ent images on the screen. This effect­ively trans­forms your dis­play into a portal to a vir­tual envir­on­ment. The dis­play prop­erly reacts to head and body move­ment as if it were a real win­dow cre­at­ing a real­istic illu­sion of depth and space.

Watch and be astounded!

 

This is amaz­ing stuff, I cant wait for Nin­tendo to get on this!
