Phoronix: Monado Working On Positional Tracking Support Via Libsurvive To Further Open-Source AR/VR

The Monado open-source OpenXR runtime for AR/VR headsets is making progress on integrating open-source positional tracking capabilities...

Finally! Positional tracking algorithms were a major missing component, especially since VR makers don't care to publish any of them.

Nice work, but looks like it doesn't involve Oculus Rift. Can't wait for OpenHMD or some other open-source project to get positional tracking working on the Rift CV1.

Unfortunately the position tracking for valve index (base stations v2) isn't good enough with libsurvive yet. It jitters a lot. The only option for valve index is currently openvr (specifically, steamvr's slow proprietary driver)

I tested it again and it looks like it has improved very recently! i dont see the jitter anymore! maybe now we can implement openvr with libsurvive to play existing openvr games
