Earlier this year it was revealed that Head Tracking would be included as an Easter Egg in the upcoming Boom Blox. The game, being developed by EA and none other than Steven Spielberg, would have included a separate feature that would allow players to 'move' around the levels and puzzles. This is done using the Wii-motes' infra-red capabilities and the sensor bar. As the player moves around the camera angle on the screen changes accordingly bringing a new 3D dimension to the game.

However, EA have now announced they will not be including the Head Tracking feature stating:
"Head-tracking was something we considered including as an Easter egg in Boom Blox, however, we did not end up including it in the final version of the game."It seems such a shame as Head Tracking is a promising feature that would add a new depth to many games. How cool would it be to move your head in order to look around the corner before taking a shot at your enemies in an FPS?
I'm sure developers somewhere are working on it, so, hopefully the baton has been passed on and eventually we will see a Head Tracking feature implemented.
