This could be sooo cool! Wow, i'm bringing up an old thread here. Anyways... ...Totally wrong! This is about the only thing you could use it for and i think it would be absolutely amazing: Build a custom (physical & to scaleish) cockpit and install lcd screens for the windows. That way the left window lcd is always looking left out of the ingame cockpit and accordingly for the front, right, and other lcds. Moving your head in three degrees of freedom (up/down, left/right, forward/backward) changes the perspective looking through any of these windows. If you did this (in 6dof) with BS it would cause a problem. When you turned your head to the left, the left lcd would display the rear view (in-game i.e. head rest), the front lcd would display the left view (in-game), and the right lcd would display the forward view (in-game). Thus the in-game views would no longer line up properly with your physically built cockpit. Alternatively, you could just disable the unneeded dofs in trackir (pitch, yaw, roll). This would cause it to work nearly as it does in the wii-man video. The only problem that i can see with this is that i don't believe bs allows you to set up custom view location/direction/fov for each individual monitor. If it did, this method should work just like the wii-man video does, and function appropriately as a real cockpit with windows. Now tell me that wouldn't be cool...
