3rd person motion tracking

Ok but then you can unlock the camera from the HMD, use a Get Orientation and Position to get the orientation and position of the HMD, then apply them to your disembodied character. You will also need to offset it in the world somehow, otherwise its position will coincide with that of your VR camera and you may not see it.
Anyway such a setup it is very likely to trigger an oculus vestibular mismatch and therefore cybersickness.
