Is there a way that I can track the total distance of my head movement?

Something like this:
float totalDistanceMoved = 0f; Vector3 oldCameraPosition = Vector3.Zero; void Update() { totalDistanceMoved += Vector3.Distance( Camera.main.transform.position, oldCameraPosition); oldCameraPosition = Camera.main.transform.position; }7
Answers
Yes. What are you trying to track, though? Camera.main.transform.position is the key. You can use Vector3.Distance() to calculate the distance between the camera's position in the last frame and the one in the current frame. Add that value to a running count.
Something like this:
float totalDistanceMoved = 0f; Vector3 oldCameraPosition = Vector3.Zero; void Update() { totalDistanceMoved += Vector3.Distance( Camera.main.transform.position, oldCameraPosition); oldCameraPosition = Camera.main.transform.position; }Thanks for clarification!
I'm sure you'll experience some drift in accuracy, but timg's is probably the best solution if you're just worried about total distance traveled.
