Regarding the flamewar/reasoned debate on position tracking
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have inferred that the IR camera for positional tracking has absolutely no bearing on detecting rotation, correct? Because if so, there is absolutely no need for it t...
It will serve as a good replacement for the still error-prone and not always usable magnetic calibration.
Better yet it should allow the magnetometer to automatically calibrate itself as you use the Rift, since the camera provides a stable ground truth that it can use as a reference. It could even account for magnetic distortion at different head positions. Then the magnetometer can take over in the rare case that the camera loses you for a significant period of time.
