lighthouse + quest emulator (FlipVR,GripVR) Controller Support

[FRICK-ELDY]

Summary

When using SteamVR with Lighthouse tracking and controllers that are emulated as Oculus Touch (e.g. Quest controller render model), controller tracking works but avatar hands remain frozen / do not follow controllers.
In this setup, SteamVR Input skeleton reports poseIsValid=false (and/or activeBinding=false) consistently, so the renderer never sends HandState tracking.

Environment

• Resonite: (Steam / version if known)
• Renderer: Renderite Unity Renderer (SteamVR)
• Tracking: Lighthouse (base stations)
• Controllers: Oculus Touch emulation (render model like oculus_quest2_controller_left/right)
• Emulation device/driver: (e.g. Shiftall GripVR + Quest2 profile)
• OS: Windows 11/10 (version if known)

Steps to reproduce

1. Start SteamVR with Lighthouse tracking.
2. Use a controller/emulation driver that exposes controllers as Oculus Touch (Quest render model).
3. Launch Resonite in VR.
4. Observe avatar hands.

Expected

Hands follow controllers (at least via controller-bound hand offsets if skeleton is unavailable).

Actual

Controllers track and buttons work, but hands do not move (hands appear frozen / desktop-like).

Investigation / suspected cause

In SteamVRDriver.UpdateHand, the renderer returns early when the skeleton action is not ready:

• !skeleton.activeBinding || !skeleton.poseIsValid is true continuously in this Lighthouse + Touch-emulation setup.
• As a result, HandState.isTracking stays false even though Generic.Pose is valid for the controller.

Proposed fix (renderer-side)

#32

Logs / evidence

(Optional) Attach Player.log showing poseIsValid=false while controller pose tracking is valid.
