Hi Adriano,

The VR project has little overlap with the EEVEE stereo requirements.

The only place they share some common requirements, is in regard to fisheye
support in the viewport. For EEVEE panorama/fisheye we need to map the
mouse with the pointer in the projected image. For VR we need something
similar to map 3d controllers to sculpting, drawing, ...

Regards,
Dalai
