There is zero innovation in that video. All head tracking utilities with 5 or 6 DOF track your HEAD (it would be a real innovation if they tracked your eyes!) and its position/rotation relative to an initial point in space. Since in aircraft sims you are cramped in a cockpit and generally have at least a joystick and you need to be sit down, the effect is not as obvious; the principle, however, is the same.
