Hi, I am using DK2 with Oculus Home 1.3, without the external camera sensor. I read that the external camera sensor would track position but also help with tracking orientation. But I assume even without the camera sensor, DK2's built in gyro and magetometer should provide stable orientation.
But the DK2 I am using is occasionally drifting horizontally at quite a high speed. And I think the drifting, and the drifting speed happens depending on what the orientation the HMD is in. Is this normal because I am not using the camera sensor, or is it because the sensor of the DK2 is defect? Thank you.
I believe it's a limitation of the gyroscope technology. All headsets that are IMU-only have yaw drift. More info on this wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_measurement_unit#Disadvantages
