TRACK IR for 6DOF motions

Hello,

I am a researcher with interest in tracking 6DOF head motions for my work. I stumbled upon TRACK IR 5, and it looks very interesting and, importantly within my budget. I was hoping to ask a few questions before I took the plunge

1. Can I extract the 6DOF motion data from this device on to my computer ?
2. Do the motion values come with a time stamp ? ...and would that be the same as the computer's time on which the software is running ?
3. Does this work for a person who is lying down on a bed, with the camera mounted on top ?
4. What is considered as the 0,0,0 ( No motion) position ?

Appreciate any guidance on the above, thanks in advance. !

Hello SaikatTRACKIR,

I recommend looking through the materials that describe the SDK to see if they help answer some of your questions. Here is the implementation page: https://docs.trackir.com/trackir-sdk/implementation.
