I made a way to use your phone and Joy-Cons as VR controllers with SteamVR

Hey all, I'm launching PortalVR Motion today on Steam which has been a project I have been working on for over a year to bring more ways to play VR content beyond headsets. It has several control schemes (phone, Joy-Cons + iPhone, and VR controllers) and works with 2D monitors, 3D monitors (like Samsung Odyssey 3D), and AR glasses like XREAL and VITURE. Just wanted to share the launch and get any feedback on whats missing and how I can make it better!

Heya! Last year I released PortalVR, which lets you play VR on flatscreens by plugging in your Quest to use the controllers. One of the bigger points of feedback was that it was weird and annoying you needed to use a headset for this, especially since the people who'd most benefit from a headset-free way to play VR don't have VR headsets in the first place.

Well, now you don't need one anymore. I just launched PortalVR Motion which turns your iPhone into a 6DOF tracker and lets you use JoyCon 1 and 2 controllers as full VR controllers. It also tracks your fingers so in games like VRChat you get full hand expression. The tracking works surprisingly well - it also supports 3D monitors like Odyssey 3D if you have one. Let me know what you think!
