bringing live keyboard into VR

Inspired byย BrianPeiris’ย camera passthrough in his ‘rift sketch’.

A quick,” just want to try it out” test. In Unity add a live webcam input as a webcam texture on a plane and rig up a small mirror on the laptop’s inbuilt camera to feed the keyboard into the oculus VR environment.

Place the plane below normal horizontal field of view so a user has to look down to see the keyboard. Excellent for getting bearings on keyboard controls etc.
