Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and watch the video - geeky but seriously cool when u consider the application of it!

Actually, the bit where he starts moving and the objects look like they are outside the TV is ******* freaky!

Yeah, that was awesome-o. At first, when the objects were outside of the TV, I was like, "Hmm, that's pretty cool." Then, when he was looking at the baseball field, I was like, "Hey, that's bad ass." But THEN, when he was using a Wiimote while ducking and moving and the screen reacted to him, I was completly speechless with coolosity.

The only downside is that whilst it deff makes things look more 3D, its hard to see a use for it.

The problem being is that in game terms your characters head would have to follow your own, and thats going to lead to all sorts of bizzare stretchy neck situations...
