Absolute beginner

If there is nothing that the person wears that can be tracked, this is not possible.

Heck, that's not true - there's tons of stuff out there about getting a computer to recognize and track heads and faces in real-time (even multiple people).

It can even be done (to an extent) with an Arduino (ok, a 644 - use a Sanguino):
