[Feature request] Head tracking

[shuantsu]

Goal

I'd like to be able to use head tracking for the simulator, as the feature implemented in this demo:

Possible solution

Publish as experimental features and see if people use the feature to develop it further

Alternatives

No response

I would consider this definitely out of scope.

It's a cool idea, but it would be a large dependency for something that is not specific to cubing. I think a good head tracking library should be able to provide a stream of coordinates, which can then be passed using a straightforward call:

twistyPlayer.experimentalModel.twistySceneModel.orbitCoordinatesRequest.set({
  latitude: 0,
  longitude: 0,
});

It might be nice to expose the API at the top-level to allow:

twistyPlayer.orbitCoordinates = {
  latitude: 0,
  longitude: 0,
};

But that's more like syntax sugar, and I think we would benefit from seeing more real-world use cases before adding a such a setter.

that's actually how I'm doing it.
