So you place the camera in the room you're going to do VR in, and then you also have to be within a certain distance and not be blocked by furniture, right?

So what happens next, when the camera has filmed your head and your hands holding Move controllers? How does that translate into the virtual reality?

Camera films my head turning right ---> picture on VR screen is turned left?

Maybe this will help you:

From the article:

"Head tracking means that when you wear a VR headset, the picture in front of you shifts as you look up, down and side to side or angle your head. A system called 6DoF (six degrees of freedom) plots your head in terms of your x, y and z axis to measure head movements forward and backwards, side to side and shoulder to shoulder, otherwise known as pitch, yaw and roll."

But what about up and down?? Sure I can look up and down inside the VR world? So then it should be called eight degrees of freedom.
