Please have native support for locomotion devices
It would be great to have native support for integrating VR locomotion devices (Freeaim VR Shoes, Kat Walk, Virtuix Omni, Natural Locomotion, etc.) similar to how it works with SteamVR.
In SteamVR, we can implement our own driver that will translate movement from the device to joystick commands. SteamVR loads the driver and then forwards the joystick commands. We can also retrieve useful information from the headset via the driver and send it to the device, such as HMD position and orientation.
Currently, to support a locomotion device on the Meta Quest, game developers have to integrate support. This isn't scalable and is a lot more work than if the locomotion manufacturer could just implement a driver/plugin/background process that works for all games that have locomotion.
