head tracking
Monitoring cranial position
Head tracking is technology that monitors the position and movement of a person's head, typically using cameras or sensors.
It enables hands-free control of computers, allows characters in video games to follow the player's gaze, and creates more immersive virtual reality experiences by adjusting the display as you look around: The flight simulator uses head tracking to let pilots look out different windows.
