Joycons don't have absolute positioning, only relative, they're not good enough for VR. There is one way you could do it, if you have a Valve Lighthouse setup then you could use Index or Vive controllers, but that would require manually calibrating the two independent tracking systems to align with each other and it's not exactly a cheap solution if you don't already have the gear.
It's a very niche setup, but a few people already use it in order to combine Lighthouse-based body trackers with a non-Lighthouse headset.

The point would be that you don't use them for positioning at all, just buttons/thumbsticks. If you've using a Virtual Desktop-like app on the headset then it's already got positioning from the hand tracking.
- jsheard 3y agoOh right, I get you. Yeah that could kinda work but it's putting a lot of faith in the accuracy of the hand tracking. I suppose an ambitious implementation could try to fuse the hand tracking data with the IMU data from the Joycons for better resolution.
