Does the OVRcontroller instansiate camera at runtime?

I've noticed that the 0.4.1 OVR controller instansiates a camera at runtime.

I'm wondering what the function of that new camera is? It's created as a component under the OVR parent. I'm guessing it's used for the GUI but not sure.

    If I'm not mistaken it's not actually rendering any Unity content. It exists as a hack to force Unity to render the left and right eye cameras. I'm not 100% sure though.

    That is correct. OVRCameraController makes sure there is a Camera on its GameObject at startup. It sets the Camera to be trivial to render. It doesn't contribute to the final output or GUI, but just forces Unity to render the left and right eye textures. They get composited in our native plugin.
