    To get the mirror image you would have to write a native plugin and call ovr_CreateMirrorTextureDX(..) and ovr_DestroyMirrorTexture(..) from the render thread at initialization/shutdown using Unity's low-level interface. The ovrSession argument can be passed to the plugin via VR.VRDevice.GetNativePtr(). This is clearly non-trivial and you will need to do some D3D11 texture management in C++ to get it to work. See https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/pcsdk/latest/concepts/dg-render/ for guidance.
