Maybe a stupid question: What sense have headtracking in combination with LCD glasses ?
You need HMD as I-o glasses or VFX3D ...

Maybe you will be interested in folowing WWW
- headtracking based on motion analysis of picture
from a webcam...

I think Mindflux might have some old IO trackers available-- www.mindflux.com.au

An old intersense tracker could be what you're looking for, too.

(For homebrew-- a mechanical one would be cheap and have virtually no lag.)

(You could use shutter glasses with a tracker-- along with the right display setup. That is, of course, the display somehow being head mounted along with the glasses...)

I used an old UR Headgear for a headtracker. It connects to the joystick port. Check it out.
Its defintely a cheaper way to go.

Is the UR Gear able to work in mouse emulation for mouse-look games-- i.e. Quake III? In general, how well does it work as a head tracker?

The UR Gear is not really a headtracker. It basically acts like a joystick strapped to your head. If you just want something low end and works pretty good, this might be what you want. They can be found on ebay for pretty cheap. And yes they can emulate mouse mode. I've played Quake with this setup several times.
