Still a long way to go, but few people thought getting this far would be possible!

      sorry … they made the change after I posted it.

      The explanation from iVRy:

      It’s running HDMI to a frame-grabber, which is then compressing the image and sending it over USB to a Linux box which is then decompressing and displaying it. There is zero value looking at performance at this point. No, a released driver wouldn’t work like this at all.

      And of course, it needs external trackers, controllers etc.

      EDIT: ok that’s more about how they recorded the footage than the implementation. I don’t know how it works!
