<![CDATA[Rotating the tracking camera]]>Can I rotate the tracking camera to face downward (i mean 90 degrees kind of downward)?
i understand that I have to edit the extrinsic config, so I would change only this part:

{
  "parent": "imu1",
  "child":  "tracking",
  "T_child_wrt_parent": [0.017, 0.015, 0.013],
  "RPY_parent_to_child":  [0, 45, 90]
}

specifically this part:

"RPY_parent_to_child":  [0, 45, 90]

to:

"RPY_parent_to_child":  [0, 90, 90]

would this affect the VIO? or affect anything at all?

VIO will converge internally to the actual rotation/translation values as long as they're close enough, but it can lead to errors if they're not.
