Nope, those little warts are IR emittors. The older type head trackers didn't work so well in helicopters due to electronic and electromagnetic interference from overhead controls. This IR based design negates that.

Its the new BAE head tracker as installed on the Eurofighter Typhoon. It was originally designed to be used in our local version of the Apache, the Rooivalk, and as mentioned before was designed specifically with the high interference interior of a helicopter in mind.

At the time also did some very interesting work on eye-trackers (I am not sure if the Typhoon system as implemented includes that particular technology) and through-armour vision.

Here's what you get when you have a high end computer company send movers so as to not void your warranty.
