Actually, FT has it's own interface and just collects and transmits positional data. In older games that only support trackIR but use an old unlocked version of the naturalpoint API, FT transmits that data through the naturalpoint interface.
It's similar for FS2004/FSX, where FT feeds its data to microsoft's simconnect interface.
As for the newer games that use a locked version of the NP API it's up to the developers to enable native FT support. An example of this is ArmA2.
So, long story short, FT is perfectly capable of interfacing directly and on its own with any game, as long as the game developers let it do so.

Are you sure about this? IR wavelengths carry less energy than our everyday normal, visible light. It should probably be completely harmless, as going out on a sunny day or simply driving at night and seeing the headlights of the cars on the opposite lane would bombard you with light radiation of a much higher energy than a couple of IR leds.
