so it looks like here, the /me/head is where the transform occurs (it can also occur back at the per-device semantic paths), if you have a section like
"aliases": {
"/me/head": {"child":{"changeBasis":{"x":"-x","y":"-z","z":"y"},"child":"/com_osvr_Multiserver/OSVRHackerDevKit0/semantic/hmd"},"rotate":{"axis":"x","degrees":90}}
}
that should change the results of osvr_print_tree
to effectively turn off predictive tracking.
