This is nothing more that 6DOF TIR. The only difference is the "world" that the guy modelled was all very close in distance from the viewer. IL-2 distances are either about a meter or less, or a few hundred to several hundred meters (usually). If you had a big monitor, a TIR, the 6DOF TIR mod from AAA (or just FSX), and a cockpit that was big enough to run around in, you could make your own immersive 3d video. BTW, why all the hostilities? I must be missing something here. That guy's work is relevant, but it's really targetted for wii console developers. TIR has already implemented this "immersion" for the PC realm. It's just that most people sit at a computer rather than stand and bob around its monitor.
