An external window not part of the main VM app that can be displayed in VR through means of OVR Toolkit or XSOverlay to simplify operation of soundboard without extra buttons for settings and such cluttering the overlay.
What this should have:
  • Completely programmable buttons, think like Elgato Streamdeck, but it's just a window of buttons separate from the main Voicemod Window. (This would also allow for the Mute Mic button to be added back in for VR users like me with a Hotkey button)
The major issue in VR is the interaction between the VR application and the overlay, it is the same as clicking off the focused window onto another window, and windows that are behind others will be clicked on to bring to the front (Windows Desktop Management basics) when there are a ton of extra buttons and lets say you're in VRChat playing Ghost and you're trying to quickly play a meme for the lolz, sometimes you either click to add a new sound, change the way it plays, slide the audio, mute the mic (except in V3 cuz y'all ruined that feature), etc...
  • The layout should be managed from the main window to minimize "extra" buttons to better optimize for VR operation.
The smaller something is, the easier it is to unintentionally click it or something else entirely, the cursor bounces around so much even when you think you're moving steady.
  • Buttons should also not be small, anything smaller than the default button size for the Soundboard would be too small IMHO.
The optimal size of buttons isn't much smaller than 2 inches wide in VR, I've seen some smaller and it's not easy to operate them fast
  • Since it is being managed by the MAIN Voicemod window, it doesn't need the extra details on the right side, or the navigation menu on the left, and none of the buttons across the bottom either. Only a box of buttons.
Maybe have the ability to have multiple button windows open at the same time to reduce search time (scrolling through endless meme sounds) and better optimize the experience in VR.
I feel like it shouldn't be too much to create a window with hot links to soundboards already in Voicemod, literally just a window of buttons customized to existing sounds, could even just add a feature to the soundboards (the different tabs of sounds) to be in a pop out window, and done! no more accidentally clicking on the wrong button while playing in VR.
