There are several people working on using the PowerGlove for the Nintendo game
system to detect position and rough orientation of the hand. A company, Tensor
Products, is also marketing this as an interface for the AMIGA computer. I do
not know what resolution is possible, or how hard it would be to adapt the 
technology (basically two ultrasonic transducers transmitting to a fixed array
of receivers) to be head-mounted. I am working on a hand-based unit, for
paraplegics, and might get so far as a head-mounted unit for quadraplegics as
well.
