Could you build this?
Partial Building an overlay UI is straightforward, but reading live hardware metrics and hooking into OpenVR/SteamVR for an in-headset overlay requires native C++ graphics and driver integration.
What it would actually take: The project requires an OpenVR overlay application written in C++ or Rust that uses `IVROverlay` to render into the VR compositor. Gathering CPU/GPU/battery/temperature telemetry requires low-level OS APIs (Windows PDH/WMI, NVML for NVIDIA GPUs, ADL for AMD). The main difficulty is zero-overhead rendering and smooth frame presentation inside VR without causing frame drops or motion sickness.
