You can see the advantage head tracking can give you :) , those head movements are about 1:1.5

Neither (but it does use tir emulation to drive inputs into AH):

very interesting, was wondering how you got the movement in the AH clip...what exactly are those?

Ya what is that? Does not look like the TrackIR.

It looks like a Z800 3D visor.

That would be correct, a Z800 VR headset, been using for about 3 years now in AH. There's a neat program called Glovepie which lets you use trackir emulation for inputs. By 1:1.5 tracking  I mean't if you look right 90 degrees the view is at 120 degrees. To check 6 you turn your head left or right about 120 degrees (I find this is realistic as you usually use the mk 1 eyeball to turn the rest of the distance in real life).

There's a couple of other people use this headset or the Vuzix VR920 in AH.

What is the difference between that and the TrackIR? Do they do the same thing? Cost?

TrackIR uses your monitor, what he's got are VR glasses (little screens in front of your eyes). I think they're stereoscopic?

yup stereoscopic, though since upgrading my video card I've struggled to get a decent 3D driver that works with AH. So lately AH has been all 2D, though that means I can now video fights (fraps didn't like 3D :)  ).

Cost?

Nah, when I got mine they were on sale for US$599 ish and our exchnage rate with the US Dollar was good. So I grabbed them. In the 90s I used a VFX-1 headset with games like EF2000, Flight Unlimited, Mechwarrior, etc, so it wasn't my first foray into VR :)

Very cool, but I'm already pushing my wife's tolerance for geekiness to the limit.
