PineVR as a new product?

[pjsf]

Just a suggestion or rather asking if this has been already considered: a simple 3dof VR headset made by Pine64 that can work as a passthrough SteamVR device with outside in head tracking similar to the PSVR?

This open source project could be a starting point:

Although I suspect it being easier to source the mechanical parts from one of the many Chinese cheap phone VR case vendors.

http://www.openhmd.net/ and Monado could be used software side.

And since Google made Cardboard VR fully open source it might be a good way to get some simple VR video watching or FPS drone flying working in stand alone mode via a RockPro SBC as a belt attached compute box?

Add some stereo cameras and it might even be possible to do some basic hand tracking or inside out head tracking in the future

Would be a cool addition to the growing Pine64 device ecosystem.

 As far as HMDs go it would be really difficult to produce a unit that retails for as little as a second hand PSVR (about $100) headset, which is quite well suported by steamvr and movado/openxr. What's really lacking is an open source lighthouse/tracking solution. Something like NOLO but fully open would be really useful.
