Nintendo Wii’s Boom Blox to support Head Tracking

To be honest I don’t know an awful lot about this game however I’ve just found out that it supports Head Tracking. Those who keep an eye on YouTube might have come across this video by Johnny Chung Lee. The video below explains what Head Tracking basically does and is worthy of your time.

Now EA’s Boom Box game, headed by none other than Stephen Spielberg has unveiled a cool Easter Egg in the game. Hopefully the setup for this is much more easier and indeed games actually start using it on the Wii.

It would be pretty cool to see this used on First Person Shooters as you would be a lot more immersed into the gameplay and can actually start to sway or dodge attacks. Maybe this in a boxing game too could work… Could be an idea for Wii Sports II…
