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)
