    I got excited when I spotted this as I thought it would be a nice, easy route to add much desired functionality into Open Brush / Tilt Brush.

    However - there's no mention of runtime support so I'm guessing not?

    Is there any chance of hacking it in? Any plans for future runtime support?

    Unfortunately, we don't yet have runtime support for the Virtual Camera. I'd be interested in knowing more about the use case you're describing. I'm familiar with Tilt Brush, so maybe explain how you see Virtual Camera interacting with that app?

    What I had in mind was a streaming spectator camera with AR positional tracking. There's a lot of activity around live performance painting and anything that makes it more immersive is of great interest.

    We've got more features on the wishlist than developers at the moment - so leverage existing functionality is obvious quite appealing!
