Is it possible to create an Overlay like OVR Metrics Tool?

As the title suggests, I was wondering if it's potentially possible with creating an overlay like OVR Metrics Tool, as I am wanting to create an application like XSOverlay for Quest devices that are running standalone applications.

  • Yeah, it’s technically possible, but you’d need access to system-level data (like performance metrics) and a way to render overlays on top of standalone apps, something similar to how platforms discussed on fintech break down complex systems into usable layers.

  • For layout ideas, a destiny matrix chart is a good example of how complex data can be structured visually. You can see how values like life path numbers and compatibility are organized into a clear and readable format, which can help when designing overlays.

    There are some things and info that you do have access to, due to the Quest being an Android based device. However, I think that an overlay is not really a thing (or I have not seen one) in Horizon
