Hi Em,

Thanks for writing.  Right now, this isn't possible; I had delayed on
writing back because I was experimenting with ways of augmenting the
existing OpenGL VR to do this, but I ended up not coming up with anything
in time.  I absolutely think this is where we would like to go with our
interactive VR, but I don't have a timetable for it right now.
