DK2 Head and Position tracking - simple code / Sensor Box

	ovr_Initialize();
	m_hmd = ovrHmd_Create(0);
	ovrHmd_ConfigureTracking(m_hmd, ovrTrackingCap_Orientation | ovrTrackingCap_MagYawCorrection | ovrTrackingCap_Position, 0);
	int frame = 0;
	while (true)
	{
		ovrHmd_BeginFrameTiming(m_hmd, frame);
		ovrPosef pp = ovrHmd_GetEyePose(m_hmd, ovrEyeType::ovrEye_Left);
		cout << pp.Position.x << " " << pp.Position.y << " " << pp.Position.z << endl;
		ovrHmd_EndFrameTiming(m_hmd);
		frame++;
	}

Here's a little minimal example:

	ovr_Initialize();
	m_hmd = ovrHmd_Create(0);
	ovrHmd_ConfigureTracking(m_hmd, ovrTrackingCap_Orientation | ovrTrackingCap_MagYawCorrection | ovrTrackingCap_Position, 0);

	{

		ovrPosef pp = ovrHmd_GetEyePose(m_hmd, ovrEyeType::ovrEye_Left);
		cout << pp.Position.x << " " << pp.Position.y << " " << pp.Position.z << endl;
		ovrHmd_EndFrameTiming(m_hmd);
		frame++;
	}

pp contains a position (vector 3) and orientation (quaternion).

Instead of ovrHmd_GetEyePose (which gets just one eye) you can use ovrHmd_GetTrackingState (should be the whole rift). ovrHmd_GetEyePose is supposed to be used to get the values for the camera before rendering each eye. There's also an order that should be followed to give best results on the DK2's sideways screen (it scans sideways instead of top to bottom), the sdk can tell you that.
But for simple example access to tracking data, the above code works fine.

since the aim is to get head tracking data while at the same time connect the Oculus HDMI display to another PC.
