Hey us VAM users are okay with wires. Though a wireless osr2 would be nice 😁

The problem with using a phone app is that the user might not have any pockets when using VR....

That's what running straps are for! Or also possibly mounting an RPi Zero W or bluetooth dongle to the headset. :3

I suppose piggybacking on the Bluetooth dongle within the headset is not an option? Or for Index users, plugging a supported dongle into the frunk USB port might be best? I admit I've never tried that, but at least then you know it's at most ~1m away from the user....

Main problem with frunking the dongle is the assumption of a frunk in the first place (Index only?), plus the fact that its USB 3 which can cause a lot of noise. Anything that could hop us out to WiFi would be handy though, which could also mean using an ESP32 with some sort of forwarding system if we wanted to go easily mountable and low power.

Interesting, I didn't know USB3 messed up Bluetooth. That explains a lot, like why my xbox controllers keep disconnecting. Grrr. Wi-Fi it is then!

The other option might be something like a Bluetooth repeater that attaches somewhere near whatever opening the device is in. A small, flat gadget the size of a coin, that does nothing but accept the BT signal from whatever gadget is inside, that boosts the signal for whatever is outside...
