Valve Index Controller Support

[micahstubbs]

Description:

I'd like to help contribute support for the Valve Index Controllers.

Here are some official 3d models of the Index Controllers from Valve that we might be able to use: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/IndexHardware/tree/master/Controller

It looks like the closest thing that we have now may be the vive-controls component https://github.com/aframevr/aframe/blob/master/src/components/vive-controls.js

• A-Frame Version: 9.0
• Platform / Device: Valve Index Controllers

Is there any browser supporting them?

I believe Firefox desktop had initial support but that was long time ago. Worth a try

good question, will take a look at Firefox desktop.

Looks like there's a PR from July which could be tested #4225

Valve Index controller model here is looking good, might be a useful reference
