Does anyone know if this is all it's cracked up to be? It sure as hell sounds interesting to me. I'm a little skeptical about the uses of the trackIR3 in FPS games, but for vehicle simulations it might be very useful. Even in games like BF1942.

The flight sim guys love TrackIR.

Do you know if it's worth using for an FPS?

Not too many games support it, I hear, so probably not.

Now with over 2.718281828 dimensions!!!

It looks interesting, and certainly cool if done well, but there was one question I don't think their product pages addressed: for stereoscopic images you need to render a frame for each eye, which would cut FPS in half unless I'm missing something---and I can't see how it would work with existing games.
