    Can someone please suggest any tutorial or link to use Vive controllers for selecting objects in play mode via a pointer/raycast?

    the standard physics raycast should suit your needs (this is how everyone is doing it) - you'll need to hook up a button to affect the object selected, so there is some coding, but it's nothing intense.

    The easiest way I've found is to make a collider trigger appear at the end of the ray.

    check out this guys youtube channel for a lot of info on this topic:
