Here is a small article about a headtracking application for the iPad 2. It's sadly in german. But the videos (I'm currently unable to view those ) could explain it anyway better than words.

The Image looks very similare to what I thought about while writing my Post #35:

There was a 3D simulation application on youtube last year from a student. He never released the code, but he used the front camera for headtracking and adjusted the screen depending of the angle to create a 3D environment inside the N900 screen. It was not a game. It was more like a tech demo. And perhaps more cooler than a iBeer Application... I saw also something like this using a Wii-Mote from Nintendo.
Edit: Perhaps someone could create a Fun application that combine Front and Back camera - so you see a simulated 3D environment (using headtracking and the front camera) and inside this 3D environment you can see your hand that is recorded with the main camera.
Okay, nothing really new. But perhaps somebody could get inspired.

A tech demo could fit into Fun and Strange. But perhaps someone has a Idea to create a Game out of this concept. I, as a new Reverstris junkie , would like to see a alternative what is able to beat it.
