The POSITION message type is used to transfer position and orientation
information. The data are a combination of three-dimensional vector for the position
and quaternion for the orientation. Although equivalent position and orientation
can be described with the TRANSFORM data type, the POSITION data type has the
advantage of smaller data size (19%). It is, therefore, more suitable for pushing
high frame-rate data from tracking devices.
