I was wondering if anyone in this community had ever had an opportunity to use a VR headset coupled with a head tracking device ? VR headsets can be seen here : http://www.pearl.fr/famille-01020706.html These are affordable models, with rather crappy resolutions, but still i'd be interested in any feedback about such a setup.

My friend and I were originally going to try something like this out, as we're going to be using the headtracking for a R/C helicopter simulator so that we can get a better feel when we're practicing w/ the sim. I think one big problem w/ VR headsets is that you get motion sickness when using them. I'm curious if that is still a problem when movements aren't mapped 1:1.

Freetrack being quite an open platform, if such a VR helmet was affordable, I wouldn't be surprised to see someone come up with some sort of «6 LEDs cap» coupled with 3 webcams that would let you freely move and turn around :-)
