How do you think...

Not sure :(
Pepper has no support for USB APIs. Without running a local app (which I
wanted to avoid, as this causes additional latency) I'm not seeing how to
make things work :(

An alternative to web sockets for bidirectional communication with native code. Might have better latency properties, though probably still worse than NPAPI.

Perhaps a better architecture would be to get the Rift exposed to the OS as a gamepad (comprised of a handful of analog axes), and then just have a drop-in JS library that knows how to make sense out of the data (using the HTML5 Gamepad API)?

I think we should integrate the work done by Cupola...

To use the chrome USB API. I can't get it to work in os x yet, but still working on it.

That API is only usable by Chrome Apps, not extensions. How would you
propose making the data accessible to arbitrary tabs?

Oh I didn't realise. That's a bit of a sticking point. :/
