@heanihilator Would you be open to me commissioning you to add another 3dof input device to your XRLinuxDriver library?

github.com/wheaney/XRLinuxDriv

I'd like to get the gryoscope from the GPD WIN 4 in there if you're up for it.

@heanihilator I'm hoping I can activate the gyro mouse and "aim" my controller to move the mouse around kind of like gyro aiming in games.
- When activated get the vector the device is pointing (from the top of the device)
- Rotating along this axis moves the cursor along X
- Rotating perpendicular to it (right side of the device) moves along Y

I could mock something up on a web app if that'd be easier. My main issue is getting the gyro drivers and linux cursor bits.

@mauve So you want to make the gyro move the mouse so you can use the device as a pointer?

@heanihilator Yes exactly. I might have the actual screen be my HMD or just the device's built in screen.

The device in question BTW: gpdstore.net/product/gpd-win-4

@mauve Would the use case be games? So you'd basically just be using the mouse-mode that my driver already supports, as-is?

@heanihilator My use case is primarily for desktop navigation but I think the your mouse mode in your driver would be enough for that. I've been meaning to try your mouse mode with my rokid max or viture pro at some point, but the demos you have up seem promising.

@heanihilator I somehow managed to break the config already, but yes the mouse mode in your driver is perfect.
