Did you actually see the video linked with the targets floating out in front of the screen?
Seriously, I've seen it a few times already. Again, there is ZERO innovation in that. Do you understand what geometry clipping means? Watch it again... now focus on what the devide does: track the goggles' position and rotation. Ok, now think about it, and try to guess what TrackIR does... yep! same thing! EXACTLY the same thing. Do you like the targets feeling as if they were popping out of the screen? that's fine! Now does that tracking offer anything new? nope. Nothing new at all.
