## What it is
An OpenVR dashboard overlay application that exposes advanced SteamVR settings and utilities without leaving VR. It is written in C++ with a Qt5/QML interface and supports Windows and Linux.

## Use cases
- adjust supersampling and motion smoothing from inside VR
- change chaperone settings not exposed by SteamVR
- move or rotate my play space offset in VR
- fix my floor height without taking off the headset
- control audio and video settings from a VR overlay
- bind controller shortcuts for motion and haptics
- access SteamVR utilities and statistics in-game

## When to choose
- you use SteamVR/OpenVR on Windows or Linux and want in-VR access to advanced settings
- you need chaperone, space offset, or motion controls beyond stock SteamVR options
- you want profiles for supersampling and reprojection settings

## When to avoid
- you use a headset not running through SteamVR/OpenVR
- you only need basic settings already available in SteamVR
- you need a native Oculus/Meta runtime tool
