My own personal wish-list for #Godot is:

* An #inverseKinematics that's smooth and works in human shapes and insane alien shapes

* A 360-Sterovision renderer.

And my wishlist for #Monado is
* Allow trackers to be tracked by Godot
* Improve Gama-brightness? I dunno why it's so dark.
* Don't require me to reboot in order to start properly in whatever crash conditions cause that every week or so.

I think there's a very good chance those things will all be fixed before I'm anything like finished with my parts of my app.

Another thing I need is called "inverse kinematics". When puppetting the characters the controllers/trackers report their position to my code, but then how does that translate in the rotation of the arm and leg bones?

Godot3 had some kind of IK system built in, but Godot4 seems to have broken it, with a new better system expected at some point, but not yet.

I would never be able to work these things out at all without the help of all the other people who have already done it and left notes, but our shoddy attempt it that we're using until the proper Godot one comes is here:

It is limited to two bones, which is okay for arms and legs but not really working great for the backbone which could use 3 or even 4 really. Hopefully the real Godot one when that comes will be more flexible and I can junk this later.
