Virtual Reality - Milestone 2 - Continuous Immersive Drawing #71348

New Issue

Name: Continuous immersive drawing (grease pencil, sculpting).
Commissioner: @pepe-school-land
Project leader: MPX developer (Gorka Mendieta)
Big picture: Grease pencil drawing in VR.
Use cases: Artists starts drawing in viewport switches to VR and then back.
Design:

Artists should be able to work fully in VR without having to learn new interactions and without breaking the creativity flow.
Working in VR shouldn't be distinct than quickly working in orthographic, or quadview, or even EEVEE, or solid.
Engineer plan:
Need some R&D to define this better, things we need to address:
- OpenXR I/O accessible/mappeable via Python/add-on with no performance hit.
- Simple way to draw in VR (for cursors).
- How to support draw/sculpt/… in our API but with 3d input?
- Areas of code that will be affected.
  Time estimate: ??
  Note: We can have a 1.5 milestone with all the technical requirements for the other milestones like: gizmo, draw, i/o Python mapping, templates / add-ons.
