Make a shooting game that works by pointing your camera at the screen

This is interesting I thought. This developer has made a quick prototype of using your camera by pointing it at the screen and moving crosshairs around based on where the camera is looking.

In other words, you could stick your camera on the end of your mouse, point it at the screen, it will track where the camera is looking, then use the mouse button to shoot or something.

Pretty cool stuff. Make sure to get your camera close enough that it can see the red dots, but not too close that it can't see the rest of the black part.
