Is positional tracking available on consumer devices?

Hi,

I'm currently working on Java bindings for Orion v4 and while doing this I came across LeapInterpolateHeadPose and LEAP_HEAD_POSE_EVENT. I've added bindings for both, but I haven't been able to figure out how to actually enable this tracking (which means I can't test if the bindings are actually working). The documentation for LEAP_HEAD_POSE_EVENT in LeapC.h specifies that "Positional tracking must be enabled" but I can't find a setting for this.

So I wonder, is positional/head tracking available on consumer Leap Motion devices, or does it require an embedded/in-development device with additional sensors?

This refers to settings that allow for smoothing and interpolation when the Leap Motion Controller is mounted on a VR headset, since it will typically have a different framerate from the headset.

That makes sense, and is about what I would have expected. But is it possible to enable this system without owning a VR headset so that I can test if my Java bindings are working? I haven't been able to get these events when running in HMD mode.
