Explain in detail what your suggested feature would be used for.

Having an OpenXR overlay would allow it to be used in setups without SteamVR, including Monado and WiVRn based ones. It would be pretty much the exact same overlay, but using OpenXR instead of OpenVR.

Describe how it would look if it requires a UI.

here is a really quick mockup I made with the built-in devtools

Explain why people would want to use it.

This would make the overlay usable on non SteamVR setups
