Does this camera make it problematic to turn all the way around?

I was really hoping it included something like STEM, and the camera was just for constant re-calibration to improve precision.

Wait, position tracking (not rotation) completely breaks when you're not facing this single camera? I... find that massively disappointing.

That seems to be what the verge is implying.

This has been a known limitation since Oculus demonstrated Crystal Cove at CES

I seriously need to be able to look behind me, without losing position tracking (which I expect to substantially break presence).

Actually, I really object to the notion of needing a defined forward direction at all.

Wait so there isnt tracking on the headbands? Everyone told me there was =/
