\subsubsection{Network enabled head tracking}
\label{subsubsec:network_enabled_headtracking}
+ Due to the higher availability of sensors, microcontrollers and
+ embedded systems in recent years, it has become very affordable to
+ build network enabled head tracking devices in small series. Many of
+ the conceived devices, such as the \gls{gpl} licensed \textit{Hedrot}
+ \citep{website:hedrot}, allow for \gls{osc} communication.\\
+ Using the \gls{osc} interface, such a head tracker can be added as a
+ client to a \gls{ssr} instance. This would probably require
+ rate-limiting the sensor output, but would enable a networked setup,
+ that could prove to be cheaper, more reliable and flexible, than the
+ compile-time opt-ins (i.e.\ VRPN, Polhemus Fastrak/ Patriot, InterSense
+ InertiaCube3).\\
