This YouTube user has made a name for himself by showing the world how simple 3D graphics are with nothing more then a Wii Remote. Now like him, I am praying that game developers take advantage of the camera accessories and/or Wii remote tech to make 3D experiences on existing 2D Displays.
Here’s his explanation of what he has done in the video:
“Using the infrared camera in the Wii remote and a head mounted sensor bar (two IR LEDs), you can accurately track the location of your head and render view dependent images on the screen. This effectively transforms your display into a portal to a virtual environment. The display properly reacts to head and body movement as if it were a real window creating a realistic illusion of depth and space.” -By Johnny Chung Lee, Carnegie Mellon University.

And notice that there is a Nintendo DSi game coming that takes advantage of this display 3D-inducing trickery. More please! Forget Avatar…imagine this in combination with a 3D display!
