Notes:
- We can actually use a single Activity.java file for oculus/pico now
- We can unconditionally compile os_android.c on Android
- No need for including extra jars in build system
- Headset rendering is guaranteed synchronous now, no need to ref L
- Add an "android flavor" build setting to differentiate between oculus
and pico devices, since they both use OpenXR.
- Update the pico manifest to reflect their OpenXR sample
- Remove some OpenGL hacks that aren't necessary anymore
- We need some headset initialization to happen upfront
- But we still want some delayed initialization for when graphics is ready
- Go back to headset initialization happening when module is required
- Add lovr.headset.start that can be used for post-graphics init
- lovr.headset.newModel accepts an optional options table as the
second argument. There is currently a single option named
'animated' that can be used to request an animatable model.
Currently it isn't clear if this should be a hint or not.
- lovr.headset.animate (name pending) can be called with a device
and a model (usually with an animated model from headset.newModel,
but this is not required). The function attempts to animate the
Model to match the pose of the device in an opaque driver-specific
way, and returns whether or not this was successful.
- OpenVR has models for controllers with a system called "components"
that can be used to animate the individual buttons. Now the OpenVR
headset driver implements the 'animate' function to make use of the
controller components, to easily load and render animated controllers.
There are 4 new devices: beacon/1 through beacon/4. They represent
tracking reference like StemaVR base stations or Oculus cameras.
There are 4 because that's how many base stations you can have in
a single tracking setup.
Right now only OpenVR exposes poses for them.
Currently nobody returns data for them, though headset drivers could
start to provide poses estimated from the head pose and IPD info.
This also makes it easier to integrate eye tracking later.
If we expose both unhanded hands and handed hands, people need to
deal with handling (haha) both cases in their apps. It's simpler
to always deal with left and right hands, even though it is a bit
less general. Still, this is congruent with the current state of
OpenVR and OpenXR, and I think there are still open questions about
the more uncommon cases where there are more than two hands.
