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.

Up and down is mentioned in that excerpt. Also, X, Y and Z axis. What more could you want, or rather expect?

Why do you have to use complicated words like "excerpt"?

Anyway, yes in my "excerpt" up and down was mentioned, but not in the context of 6DoF (six degrees of wisdom, I mean freedom), which made me confused.

So a good explanation of that is what I want - or rather expect.
