low latency head tracking + full immersion (like you're in the game, VR) ($300)

https://leapmotion.com/about
extremely accurate hand/finger tracking ($70)


So now we have full blown hand control, full blown viewing control (via head), and awesome immersion. The only thing left is how to get the character to move ;o (mic can be used for talking).

Given that your hands are preoccupied with controlling whatever, how should a character be controlled?


Anyways, just some really cool stuff

edit
Possibility for motion sensing instead of LEAP. Doing it with these would allow you to have controls as well ^)^.
