Yes.  Buy one of these:

6 degree of freedom glove (with finger bend sensors and a few buttons)
Measures movement in X, Y, and Z, and roll, pitch and yaw.  IR
trasnmitting, so it's wireless.

Attach it to your head, and hook it up to your computer.  Should do
exactly what you want.  Should also look funny having this tracking
glove on top of your head.

But it is wireless, so you'd have to position the IR receiver in a good
spot, or modify it so it transmits more brightly, etc.

Anyway, looks like a plug 'n play application for this part.

Can't be beat at just under $60[US].
