It seems like nobody asked this before (or I'm bad at searching, maybe it was discussed on Discord).

Could the support for PSVR games be implemented somehow in the future within the emulator?
Is it even feasible theoretically?

I would imagine it working like this:
The emulator could implement OpenXR API, gaining standardized support for PC VR hardware.
With this, the emulator then could translate the data from OpenXR into the format PSVR understands and pass it to the game. The game would generate the image for the headset to display.
The emulator would need to translate data of the tracking headset, controllers, button presses, etc.
One issue would be translating headset specific things, like image resolution, barrel distortion and other stuff, as it is not expected from fixed PSVR hardware, possibly solvable with game specific patches.
The other issue might be emulating the features of PlayStation Camera, PS Move, and PSVR processing unit, that are used to enable PSVR.

I would not suggest implementing the support specifically with the original PSVR hardware directly, as it would probably be out of scope for the project, there already might be solutions to this elsewhere (for example, Trinus PSVR).

I understand this is a huge feature request, so this could be left as a tracking issue for future reference.

I'm pretty sure I can close it because it's not planned for now (like not this year). There is a LOT to do before

(like not this year)

I presume you mean including the next one?
