I think I would rather look at an EDtracker, http://www.edtracker.co.uk (http://www.edtracker.co.uk/shop/products)
Much cheaper but still something you have to attach to your noggin, but that's the case with trackir as well.
Personally I went for an eye tracker as impulse get, problems with this is it has to mount it to your screen, and the device can't be further than about 70cm away from you, so that also goes for the screen..
And it took me about 6-8 weeks to get used to it...

I agree with Tor, ED tracker Pro is best bang for the buck unless you have Soldering skills and patience, then its the Regular DIY ED Tracker.
Two members of the A-Team (Dawg and Myself) use the ED Tracker Pro. Its a Big Thumbs up and a hell of a lot cheaper than TrackIR. If you have games that don't allow you to map joystick axis for head tracking, then you can use OpenTrack with ED Tracker. I have had mine since November and never play without it. I have used it in Warthunder, Cliffs of Dover, as well as ED. With WT and COD I used it with OpenTrack and didn't have an issue, although many who do this want the extra axis of Lean Forward/Back Up/Down Lean Left/Right. ED Tracker is 3DOF where TrackIR is 6DOF.
Now Cmdr. Kharma (another A-Team Member) uses TrackIR and he uses it for more than ED. He had it prior I believe as he had it for DCS World and X-Plane. I have used a friends TrackIR as well. It is great and Kharma may argue this point with me, but I don't think it is worth the extra cost. If you need the extras that you can get from TrackIR in other games, and YOU think the extra cost for it is worth it, then that is a good choice for you.
From Mine and Dawgs Experience, and I am sure he will pipe up when he sees this, is that the ED Tracker works Awesomely, and the Price for us non-able kit making types for someone else to ship me a little box and cable that works and has a warranty is hella cheap compared to other options.
