Engadin.

Kinect will suck for this. Great idea in theory but in practice it won't be anywhere close to accurate enough imho for subtle head movements despite everyone hyping out about it.

TrackIR is still the best way to go, or something like this FaceTrackNoIR for those on a budget.

Look at the lag response for when the guy moves his head in the video to when it reacts on-screen. It might be a consequence of too much smoothing but I'm thinking all the processing the Kinect has to do to figure out where your head is, when it's moving and translating that into accurate and responsive tracking is a bit beyond the device.
