OpenXR hand tracking interface as input to DCS (e.g. just like leap motion and VRFreaa and other have)

[ZerXen]

So OpenXR is now a thing in DCS, but not the hand-tracking part. Can we get OpenXR hand-skeleton translated to the DCS's hand-skeletons? E.g. the ones leap motion and other interfaces use? This would give quest2 users much better hand tracking that even leap motion has (much wider field of view for example, no overheat and extra USB cable).

E.g. a low hanging fruit of skeleton-to-skeleton interface, and given how many people own quest2 it might be worth the effort.

The OpenXR hand skeleton is already projectable to DCS, just being ignored by the game logic:

The rendered skeleton is a feature of OpenXR Toolkit which DCS can't see and isn't really related to any potential built-in implementation. The information DCS needs is all available via XR_EXT_handtracking, including the skeletal joint positions.

FWIW, leap motion is also available via XR_EXT_handtracking; there's a pretty solid chance that a XR_EXT_handtracking implementation in DCS could replace the existing leap motion support, instead of *adding* to the amount of things that ED need to maintain and test.
