Connecting your sensor to the EyeTransformMatix is the right thing to do
for the head tracking. Is it possible that your numbers are too small? When
you move your head the position of the object may not move that much
depending on your object is front of the projected plane or behind. If you
can send me your config file, state file and what values you are getting
from your sensor, I can provide you exact explanation.

Thanks,
