Introducing Galpad - A VR companion app (virtual PDA)

Nice work CylonSurfer! Really liked the UI. Typing for galaxy map/messaging and screenie features got me interested straight away.
 
I and other VR (PC) users have been asking FD for a VR keyboard for so long, yet FD have consistently refused to entertain the idea, claiming it was the responsibility of Oculus to provide this facility.

Congrats to the OP for achieving something that FD will not - or cannot - develop.

It is when I see 3rd party apps like this that I really, really hate FD and ED's 'lead' designers for their lack of concern for their players.

Thank you OP. Pity FD are so pathetic (and/or disinterested) that they cannot compete with you.

I wonder if there is some (easy) way to link this to voice attack or similar... I think being able to dictate to the keyboard mode would be very useful... One piece of feedback I would like to add if I may, is to allow the user to resize the pad in some way, in order to perhaps increase the keyboard size a bit - although now I'm typing ... I assume you can do that using Dash anyway.... :D

Also, I imagine this can be used with just the oculus remote pointer... that might be easier than fumbling for the touch controller during flight....

Looks awesome in any event, and I think many people will be very grateful for a working in-game touch keyboard.

It would also be useful to allow use of the mouse in VR as well, as indeed XPlane have done.
