I saw this, and interested. Bit of a backstory first if you don't mind reading it.

I had the opportunity to get a VIO head track headset free back in 2005. It was amazing. I played Mechwarrior and Falcon 3.0, I had a virtual cockpit in both. But we moved past 640x480 resolution, the max for the headsets, so you couldn't read the status and it got fuzzy on SVGA. Long time ago folks.

Here is a Youtube of it.

Now there is a new Mechwarrior and this new tech at 720 HD with head tracking.

I'd like any input folks have and your thoughts, I am interested in your input.
 
That's a lot of cash to spend for just 1 game, but if it's worth it for you then do it. For that kind of money though you could buy a 50"+ lcd or a triple monitor setup, so I couldn't justify it myself. But that is just my opinion.
 
Well it would work for all games. First Mech has to implement an input for the ability to 'view the cockpit all around.

Money isn't an issue thankfully.

Thanks for your input though!
