As a TrackIR user, it feels to me like it should be possible to do something like this with the 6dof headtracking data from TrackIR, but basically nobody uses a 1-1 mapping that would produce a camera trick like this.

TrackIR DOES do this. In flight simulator, with full 6dof, you can move your virtual head around and look under and around things
In my TrackIR config, I move my head left an inch, the projected head moves 6 inches. This is more useful than a even mapping in practice, but solidly breaks the 'looking through a window' illusion.
