    I have an HTC Vive Pro. Is anyone aware of any projects (GitHub) that allows you to view objects in the real world while still playing in VR?

    What about Tron mode, I presume the pro still supports it. Just have the boundary close enough to trigger it when needed. Alternatively there is the pass through camera.

    I have definitely seen footage of an experimental system using a camera and maybe a green screen so that live video of your hands can be superimposed into the VR world. It would presumably also work for a steering wheel and button boxes. However it was maybe a year or more ago and I haven't been able to find it again.

    I have never enabled the front cameras on my Pro!!! I thought that having two cameras would give the same functionality as the leap motion technology, in that you can see your own hands in game and interact.. but not enabled , why I have no clue , what a waste .......
