Are there any recommendations on 6 dof head tracking? At the moment I'm looking at the Vive Trackers https://www.vive.com/uk/accessory/tracker3/, but if there's a more accessible option I'd love to go with that.
And on that note, when it comes to 6 dof, I was thinking positional audio (like in games) would be the easiest way to test it, as I haven't seen much in the 6 dof ambisonics space for maxmsp. Any resources or software would be helpful. Thanks!
