True, the basic unit does not have a head tracking mechanism.  However, 
it is available as an option.  The head tracking was decent, except that
there was apparent noise interferance when close to my Pentium (continuous
rolling).  The image quality was decent compared to other HMDs I have tried
(although I haven't tried the Cybermax or VFX1).
