Blocking a Rift S sensors

Hello VR Experts
I need to know if it is possible to cover a Rift S but still gain its head rotation?
Can the headset still work if it was covered with let's say a velvet material?
I don't need hands and positional tracking for the project!

I understood the old Rift DK1's internal accelerometer still calculated rotation with its external sensors disconnected.
(a bit cheeky, but would this also be the same situation for a Quest's head rotation?)

It's for an artist instalation you see.

Thanks in advance

    You can simply offset the positional tracking with an offset or negative direction to counter, I don't think it should be covered though.

    @hippocoder thanks, yeah looks like i may get a Quest as it may have a new 3dof only implemented as of last month for dark situations
