Hey, this is a really interesting project. I'm dipping my toes into the VR waters with a VR-ready PC and a Oculus Go. I've briefly tested streaming PC Games to the Go via ALVR, Vridge, and Virtual Desktop. VRidge was OK, but the video stream quality was poor. ALVR I did not get to work with recognising my GO on the the same wifi lan. So far, Virtual Desktop had the easiest integration with SteamVR games, and the best quality video stream on the Go, but I only had the one 3Dof Go controller, which had incorrect mappings for the buttons used in the game, which seems to require 6Dof controllers. My question, then, is how to conceptualize the architecture of your modifications. As far as I understand, it goes like this...

1. FreePie acts as interface between controllers and ALVR.
2. ALVR acts as the interface between HMD with controllers and SteamVR.

The purpose of FreePie is to translate the buttons in real time to the game controls. This is sent to ALVR which is sent to ALVR. ALVR then handles the SteamVR api.

Is this correct?

I'm especially interested in setting up a cheap 6dof mod to the GO. I saw some stuff using PSMove controllers, etc. Any tips there?
