WHY !! Gui elements only visible in one eye ??

This seems to be a common problem, so I created a package that will hopefully simplify the process for people:

Hello everyone,
I read the couple threads about GUI on this forum but I still can't figure out a solution to my problem.
I want to display a Gui box while my mouse pointer is over a gameobject. And here's what I did so far:
Since the infos are object specific I thought about creating a script with the infos per object.
Drawing a box or a stereobox ended up displayed on the left camera only.

I then tried to duplicate what was done in OVRMainMenu but in the end my limited knowledge of unity prevents me from accessing the instantiated plane created in front of OVRCameraController.

So my first question is: is it possible? is there a better way?
And if so, somebody care to explain the reasoning with a basic example?

Thanks.

You need to make the GUI a 3D object in the scene. For example, you'd use a flat quad that is aligned to the camera controller position (i.e. a billboard). Then on this quad you would render the GUI as a render-to-texture (not to the screen directly). I am not 100% sure the exact steps needed to do this in Unity, but that is the general idea.

Thank you for your answer.
Yes, that's what I understood so far. I followed sinoth's example but couldn't get it to work and yet following unity's doc on rendertexture (camera drawing on a RT) worked flawlessly. I think I understood the the main ideas to achieve what I want but still miss the little steps in between.
I solved my problem by raycasting from my camera and using the already instantiated RT from OVRMainMenu instead of using OnMouseOver. It works, kind of, since the mouse is giving me trouble now but at least I got something.

I'm still open to suggestions though!

Once thing I notice is that while the GUI is showing, if I move around the text disappears until I stop moving. Anyone know why this happens and how to stop it?

Did you ever solve this? I'm having the same thing. I think it's possible that it's struggling to maintain 60 fps, so it starts to skip things that are less interesting (somehow) and therefore skips the rendertexture bit.

I did something like this before. I was still having issues the other day when I tried this but this should work the same with NGUI and Daikon forge in Unity for anyone needed help.

Actually, I think it's GL.clear that's getting called more frequently than the GUI is getting drawn. Not sure how that is since they're both supposed to happen once per frame.
