>6DOF gyro

A gyroscope is used to detect orientation/angular velocity (spinning), the sensor to add the other degrees of freedom is already there in most modern controllers and smartphones (the accelerometer). The issue is still accuracy I'm afraid.

>Do you need to rotate the yaw of your hand? Nope.

I'd certainly enjoy to open doors and make a simple goodbye gesture in VR.
