Community research
The current v0.10.1 prerelease has concrete stereo/tracking and hand/item features but still lacks a complete conversion and a broad headset test matrix; experimental.
Evidence checked: Creator README, v0.10.1 release and release history v0.10.0 reviewed; exact dependency pairing is documented.
Known limitations
- Creator labels it a prototype and not a complete VR conversion.
- Requires compatible PZ3D/ZombieBuddy pairing; v0.10.1 explicitly names accepted B42.21 temporary fix and pinned 2.3.2 agent.
- No named physical headset/runtime validation or full gameplay completion evidence.
