Re: [orientation-sensor] Head orientation tracking (#68)

@himwho thanks for the impressive demos!

I have a few questions that you as an expert in this space can probably help answer. Your responses will help the W3C Devices and Sensor Working Group assess the readiness to start work on this feature:
- Would a Web API that represents head orientation data in quaternion or rotation matrix formats satisfy your requirements? If so, there's a path to extend https://w3c.github.io/orientation-sensor/ that means only small API surface changes, making the process faster.
- What would be the "minimum viable" sampling frequency and sensor reading accuracy requirements that'd enable key spatial audio use cases? This group develops Web APIs that carefully mitigate any known [privacy and security threats](https://w3c.github.io/sensors/#main-privacy-security-threats) and I'm wondering whether the existing mitigations we have in place would work without compromising the use cases.
- What mainstream products that you know of currently support head orientation tracking **and** expose (preferably cross-)platform/OS-level APIs that could (at least in theory) be integrated into open-source web engines?
- Any other considerations we should be aware of.

Answers to even a subset of these questions would help us make progress with this feature. Thank you for your help!
