Finally got Input Emulator working with the new OpenVR driver API. There are some MASSIVE changes to the driver API which required me to completely overhaul the hooking mechanisms and significantly change the inner working of Input Emulator. Therefore the code may (and most probably will) still contain bugs, and some things don't work as expected.

The previous API basically worked as follows:

  1. Driver tells runtime that button 2 has been pressed on device 4.
  2. Runtime tells application that button 2 has been pressed on device 4.

For button remapping i only needed to change some numbers, and everything directly translated to the application side.

The new API now basically works as follows:

  1. Driver tells runtime that input component "/input/grip/click" (that you need to register first at startup) on device 4 has been set to true.
  2. ???
  3. Runtime tells application that button 2 has been pressedon device 4.

To be able to remap buttons I now need to know to what button a specific input component is mapped, which I cannot for all devices. I own only a Vive, so I can only know it for sure for this device. There is enough information on the internet so that I can pierce together a mapping for the Rift, but for other devices like the Windows Mixed Reality headsets some inputs may not work.

Also I can only map a button to another button for which an input component already exists. So mappings to arbitary non-existing buttons will not work. Even some exising ones are now ignored, e.g. it is not possible to map a button to the trigger button on the Vive controller despite an existing suitable input component. I suppose the same is also true for the trigger and grip buttons on the Touch controllers.
