    Here's some code to do this. Not 100% sure it compiles, but it should point you in the right direction:

    If you're using an old SDK for this (pre 0.4.3), you'll want to look at OVRDevice.GetPredictedOrientation(). 

    Quaternion currentOrientation = Quaternion.identity;
    OVRDevice.GetPredictedOrientation(0, ref currentOrientation);
    float currentOrientationY = currentOrientation.eulerAngles.y;


    If you're using a more recent SDK (0.4.3 and newer), you'll want to look at OVRManager.display.GetHeadPose().

    if(OVRManager.display != null)
    {
        OVRPose currentHeadPose = OVRManager.display.GetHeadPose();
        float currentOrientationY = currentHeadPose.orientation.eulerAngles.y;
    }


    Hope that helps!
