QTM Services
QTM is the New_3DS system module in charge of handling head tracking. A maximum of three (only two until 9.3.0-21) sessions for *all* QTM services combined.
Head tracking is not usable when any other process is using any of the cameras, QTM returns error 0xC8A18008 for this.
QTM only tracks the position of the user's two eyes, but does not track the area they are focusing at. Hence, "eye-tracking" is sometimes used to refer to this feature on 3DS, even though it means something else outside the 3DS hacking scene.
