Mostly simulators. Tracks your face by various means, webcam, IR, etc. When your head moves your camera moves.

Interesting! So a flight sim which changes your view or what application would do this? Maybe thats something we can get working in linux?

I think I heard of them being used in Arma/Milsims so you can turn your head slightly left or right, so your character looks to their left and right on monitor.

Thats pretty interesting! Sounds like a niche enough thing that would need specific attention to get working.
