Bluetooth Support #150

Open ChristophHaag opened 6 years ago

ChristophHaag commented 6 years ago

From IRC: What to do about bluetooth controllers (playstation move and windows mr)?

Also: Lighthouse basestation standby would be really nice to have through OpenHMD (SteamVR still does not do it on Linux). Docs about lighthouse bluetooth standby: https://github.com/nairol/LighthouseRedox/blob/master/docs/Base%20Station.md#bluetooth-le-communications

Nice link! Just a comment about terminology - BLE is very different from BT. The Valve stuff is based around Nordic nRF24LU01P (or similar), which has alternate f/w modes to talk propitiatory or BLE.

BTW you should also consider the Steam Gamepad, this apparently has it's own internal acc/gyros and can compute it's orientation and output a quanternion.
