I did watch the video - what they're doing is 1000 times more complex than they need for the head tracking portion. It just proves that the eye is capable, but any webcam would be. The trick is in what it's tracking.
There is face tracking software that you may get with your Logitich Camera, but it's not precise enough to do what we need for head tracking in a simulator enviroment (racing, flying, etc...).
the other key would be to make the software compatable with it. Can you imagine how real Grand Turismo would be if you not only had the steering wheel and pedals, but also a head tracking feature that puts you behind the wheel, allowing you to use your actual head to look left and right?
Trust me, I've used this with the PC and it transforms your simulator GAME into a real SIMULATOR... Minus the Multi Million dollar price tag and some hydrolics... (though the force feedback feature inhances the "feel").
