    This has probably been asked before....

    Would it be possible to make a plugin that links a mobile phone's 'motion/gyro' sensor to the free look camera?
    Essentially replacing the mouse as the 'mover'.

    What I'm thinking is that with a phone on your head it can track your head movement and by using the free move with the phones motion/gyro sensors it will be a bit like TrackIR I suppose.

    As there is a TrackIR plugin, it is logically possible, but maybe very unconfortable to wear :)

    This may be true but there are ways around it but should be much cheaper than trackIR or similar :)

    Use a Basecap, 3 IR-LEDs and some resistors and a 0815 webcam and look for open source tracking softwares ;)
