Expose the player's own position via Avatar OSC parameters
What's the idea?* Basically, similar to VelocityX/VelocityY/VelocityZ parameters, I would like to be able to read PositionX/PositionY/PositionZ parameters.
Using the world space constraint technique, this would allow me to create network-synced world space props that work for late joiners, by using animator parameters to represent the X/Y/Z position of the prop. In order to know where to place the prop, I need to be able to see the coordinate system of the world, and reporting the current player position seems like a good reference point to use.
I have a prototype of this prefab up here: seanedwards/vrc-worldobject
Is there another way? I can probably get the world space position another way, such as a gameobject+shader that renders its own world space orientation/position.
Second this!
I'm currently making an OSC drone system to sync camera coordinate from Unity into VRChat. If we have a way to output player position/rotation back into Unity, we could do player tracking or focusing automatically, It would be highly beneficial for VRChat machinima or cinematic filming.

This would be great, it would allow for Quest-compatible world space objects on avatars (as said above) with only the need for avatar support and a mobile app or computer program :+1:
