First came the Wiimote, Then..

If this will manage to actually work well enough to justify spending an amount of money approximately equal to the actual system, that would be kind of cool. But it seems a little tedious, more so than having to move when playing a game...

Would you picture where you want the character to be, and that's where they would go? I sense some problems with this issue, among other things. Plus, I don't fancy having to exert myself mentally if I'm playing a game where, normally, I can just stop thinking and, well, play.

Ha! Exactly! You will always have distractions that will affect your gameplay.

If this does manage to sell, the games would be simple and boring, like WiiPlay and WiiSports: Plain and Simple.

Like...how would you control Mario Galaxy, or Metroid Prime 3, or Zelda with that thing?

It won't sell, if it does, the games will be crap.

IMO, I think that it sounds cool and looks some what cool, but what's the fun in playing a game where you literally sit completely still and just stare at the T.V. all day.

I strongly agree with the obesity.

Thanks

For a paralyzed person, sure this a great step ahead. But I still doubt it's usefulness. There's too many movements for the head to simply give an entire layout for. Move head left to move left, right to move right, up/down, ect? The user is going to look like he's on acid mushrooms half the time!

you've got something here, it sure would be great if the people would use this technology to power a wheel chair for a paralyzed person, sadly everbody loves video games more than they love helping paralyzed people. D:

No you don't. Like I said, if your playing Super Mario Galaxy and your mom calls you and you kill yourself..what do you think will happen in real life. Ex:

A paralyzed man wearing that helmet and waiting to cross the street. A police car comes chasing another car with very loud sirens. The man is distracted and his wheelchair runs into the middle of the street....

KABLOOEY!

Not a good idea AT ALL!
