I'm sure I'm missing something as I have no experience with these tools/software....

When you turn your head to the right, the screen in front of you shows the view to the right but now you're facing to the right and you can't see the screen in front of you anymore?

How do you setup your battlestation to best use this?

I was wondering this as well. In the video he turns his head about 20° or 30° and the view shifts almost 90°, so it must amplify his motions? I suppose you would get used to that pretty quickly.

Yes. OpenTrack has user-editable Bézier curves that map real-world translation and rotation to what’s output to the game.

This is an awesome hack and I wish I’d thought of it.
