[feature] Add overlay tracking of the HMD #16

Open tingvarsson opened 3 years ago

Basically what the titles says. Make the overlay track the HMD instead of the controller. Basically make it a static position relative the eyes.

Yes, that it quite easy to achieve, actually. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, due to nausea though.

Aha, hadn't occurred to me that it could be an issue! I thought of it partly because I had issues getting the hand based tracking to work pleasantly, or perhaps rather understanding how it is supposed to work. More specifically how the dim/undim works, it would not show at all most of the time when I tried it out. And possibly only show itself when pointing in weird angles.

The hand tracking will get an update soon for the show/hide behavior, how it is implemented right now is not intuitive. Dim/undim works by just looking at it for the x amount of seconds you specify
