This is exactly like receiving tracking data from a \"base station\" which would in this case be simulated by opentrack.  Having this functionality would allow any SteamVR game to receive 6 DOF opentrack data for any HMD in direct mode instead of using the gyro tracking that the devices already have.  Thus allowing us to use any open track compatible tracking device to do the tracking on behalf of the HMD in any supported direct mode VR game.\r\nSo in summary and I apologize for repeating this, but for some reason people on various forums tend to get it confused with what opentrack has already implemented vs this request.  The current version of opentrack uses SteamVR tracking data as input to allow the HMD to become the tracker for games in extended mode VR and simulate TrackIR\\Opentrack input.  So opentrack data to go via the SteamVR protocol as output for direcmode VR would be a really great next feature, allowing opentrack to provide tracking on behalf of any non-mobile based HMD (I believe Riftcat does this for mobile based devices like the Samsung GearVR).  There is a fair community out there that don't have higher end VR HMD devices.  Having lower end units and IR-tracking clips would allow us accurate and cost effective 6 DOF tracking in direct mode, which we can only get via some integration with opentrack or directly from opentrack which would probably be the best solution.  \r\n\r\nThank you for indulging me and holding thumbs that you would consider this feature request.\r\n\r\nKind Regards\r\n\r\nGraham Botha.

Yup it's a lot of\nwork for a one man band as a hobby project.
