Does it make me a bigger computer geek or airplane geek if my first reaction on seeing this dingus was that it looked pretty insanely neat?

At first it looked pretty cool… but don’t you need to keep your eyes straight ahead on the monitor as you turn your head side to side?

It translates very small head movements into much more significant movements on the display. The site claims that a 3 degree movement of the head to the right translates into a 90 degree rightward movement on-screen. So you can look around with a lot of freedom without really actually having to move your head off-axis very much.
