Get the raw absolute rotation from the Gear VR IMU

Hello!

Is there any possibility to get the absolute rotation from the IMU in the Gear VR? I need this for an application that needs to get the direction in real world, like for example in a GPS. I can't find a way to get this raw data from the IMU. It is for a quite important demonstration event.

Thank you all in advance!

Sorry, there is not a way to do this on Gear VR without a custom tracking solution. I'll talk to the team and see if we can add it.

One thing you could do is add a calibration step where you have the HMD pointed in a known direction. Then call OVRManager.display.RecenterPose() to make the head pose relative to that direction.
