The Woody design should still be on the forum somewhere, but as I recollect it was basically a couple of digipots controlled by an Arduino and a switch to use either the joystick or the pots as the input to the joystick pod...
Arduinos and other microcontrollers make life wonderfully simple from an electronics design standpoint, as you basically just need to figure out how to make an input that is in their range and an output that works with whatever you are controlling, and write whatever code you need to translate the input to the output... Then the Arduino does all the heavy lifting involved. Possibly the biggest challenge is figuring out how to get the output stream from the glasses to give you a useful control signal
