Steam VR Overlay
Naturo
Attached is a concept to show what the UI/experience could look like.
Very simplified Steam VR plugin to allow an overlay setup on your wrist in Virtual Reality. This can be used across all Steam VR games.
Gives Voicemod presence to more Virtual reality users with an easier interface without breaking immersion.
Users can choose their top 3 or 5 voices/soundboards to store in the quick access menu. Settings menu allows the user to customise what's shown.
Maybe even adding a system clock to the wrist and could even integrate a virtual keyboard & TTS.
VRChat also allows access to their API using OSC. So can easily work with VRChat's built in Chatbox.
Room to improve and introduce Text to Speech and even Speech to Text. This will allow VRChat users to effectively communicate regardless of having a Mic, being mute or assist with Sign Language learning.
Would be a very long term project however. But an interesting one to see.

Love the idea of streamlining it this would be great to see as OVR toolkit can be a tad clunky

Can most like be built and using Voicemod Control API. The base Voicemod app has to be running, UI just for VR but uses Control API to connect to Voicemod without needing any additional program running. Similar to how Stream Deck works, but in a Virtual interface.
Steam VR can detect and be enabled as an overlay. ✨
