::

    pip install python-ovrsdk

Use
~~~

.. code:: python

    import time
    from ovrsdk import *

    ovr_Initialize()
    hmd = ovrHmd_Create(0)
    hmdDesc = ovrHmdDesc()
    ovrHmd_GetDesc(hmd, byref(hmdDesc))
    print hmdDesc.ProductName
    ovrHmd_StartSensor( \
      hmd, 
      ovrSensorCap_Orientation | 
      ovrSensorCap_YawCorrection, 
      0
    )

    while True:
      ss = ovrHmd_GetSensorState(hmd, ovr_GetTimeInSeconds())
      pose = ss.Predicted.Pose
      print "%10f   %10f   %10f   %10f" % ( \
        pose.Orientation.w, 
        pose.Orientation.x, 
        pose.Orientation.y, 
        pose.Orientation.z
      )
      time.sleep(0.016)

Output:
