Hello. Can you please add option in SteamVR settings and API to adjust tilt to people who can't hold vertical position can adjust it appropriately?

It has been recently announced to Meta Quest in Accessibility Options.

Currently SteamVR API allows change player rotation but doesn't allow to change tilt.

This is also very requested feature of WalkinVR software that provide some facilitating options for SteamVR https://steamcommunity.com/app/1248360/discussions/0/2567563897034626046/

Thanks.

I would love to see this as well, although I would use it as a Twitch redemption for viewers to flip my world around, and less so for accessibility. I didn't feel my use case was big enough to motivate asking for it, but for accessibility it makes more sense! Especially if other platforms are implementing it 😮

Edit: Thinking about this some more, I guess the hard part is which point to spin around, the world scale uses the tracking space floor center point as the origin for the transform, but I don't expect applying tilt would be as straight forward. In the end I guess rotation would be applied at the current position of the headset, but might need things like height adjustments etc. 🤔

Just noticed this old thread which just got necroed, same topic: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/openvr/issues/681
