iPad 2 Head-Coupled Perspective

I just came across this pretty amazing video today.  Some tech guru’s over at The Engineering Human-Computer Interaction (EHCI) Research Group  have managed to use the front facing camera on the iPad 2 to track your head in 3D space creating a glasses-free monocular 3D display.  Yeah… amazing!
