Implement LighthouseSource adapter for users with a VR setup (HTC Vive, Valve Index, standalone Lighthouse base stations).

Two integration paths:

  • libsurvive (preferred, open source, no SteamVR required): reads Lighthouse laser sweep data directly. Works on Linux/Windows/macOS. Tracks Vive Trackers attached to hands, limbs, or custom mounts. Sub-mm position + full 6DoF at ~1000Hz.
  • OpenVR SDK (requires SteamVR running): exposes Valve Index controller hand skeleton (finger curl + splay for all 5 fingers). Highest-fidelity hand input in the entire Merlin source hierarchy.

Priority: Lighthouse source is highest-priority in the DepthFusion auto-detect chain because it provides true 6DoF independent of camera line-of-sight.

New actions enabled: individual finger curl/splay → per-finger key bindings.

Optional dep group: merlin[depth-lighthouse] → pysurvive or pyopenvr.
