Is it possible to have WII 'like' point and click mouse control?
Someone's made a similar system, DorsalVR for the purposes of using VR controllers as a Wiimote for a Wii emulator (Dolphin), so it's definitely doable - but I don't know of any software for desktop use, yet.

Will somebody smarter than me take on Dolphin VR now that OpenXR is a thing?
Other options could be reaching out to the dev of Dorsal, which is an OpenXR project that only works with Dolphin at the moment. https://github.com/MichaelJW/DorsalVR

Metroid Prime Trilogy VR
I'm working with the author of DorsalVR ( /u/Not0K ) to support a VR-like experience for all games. DorsalVR uses OpenXR via Unity to get information from the HMD. At least the hope is that DorsalVR will use the HMD to tell Dolphin how to change the scene view with Free Look (using a UDP specification). The scene will be mirrored / stretched to the HMD field of view so you'll get the stereo 3d and moving your head with the HMD will move in the game world. You can increase the FOV of the game (using Free Look) to make the scene not feel so stretched, though any 2d HUD elements will need to be corrected (I'm working on that).

Oculus Touch Support
As for oculus controllers, there's not really anything in Dolphin to directly support that. It looks like the DorsalVR author is looking to support that. So you might wait for that.

TrackIR VS Cheaper alternatives
I want to buy something like TrackIR (I don't know much about equivalent products). My friend told me about a DIY tracker that I could use (opentrack).

Preview: XREAL virtual display, no additional hardware
Out of curiosity, do you have a formed opinion on Opentrack for 6DOF support? It would be cool to have a little input plugin from your software for the XREAL into Opentrack! I usually play Il-2 1946 and other flight sims on a docked Steam Deck, and opentrack + android phone with AI recognition is a god send.

Debian 12 doesn't have readproc.h

Should I buy the IR5?
I think you’ve got the wrong sub. But I thank you. I’ve learnt a load figuring out your acronyms! For anyone not following trackir is this https://www.trackir.com/trackir5/ (which looks remarkably similar to a head mouse extreme which you can’t buy). It’s head tracking. Not eyegaze.
