or all you nerds out there, check out this new company Cam-Trax. They track almost any object with a webcam, and use it as in input device. Really cool stuff here!
per Engadget:
Cam-Trax offers highly accurate and responsive tracking of random colorful objects you hold in front of your webcam and tell it to track. Gameplay can be EyeToy-esque, but it can also be so much more, since the unit can track many objects in a full three dimensions. The video shows everything from a glorified game of pong to a FPS, and promises to control "any game" with "any webcam."
