This addon adds two buttons "Next landmark" and "Previous landmark" to easily navigate between VR landmarks using shurtcuts.

@romanshuvalov I apologize for the extremely late feedback.
I think that the VR landmark switching functionality (operators) proposed in your add-on would be useful in VR (press a controller button to move to the next landmark), however I'm not so sure of its usefulness as a button in the viewport sidebar UI.

Since the landmark list view already offers the ability to switch landmarks by clicking the circle icon next to an entry, I'm unsure how much utility dedicated buttons for cycling through landmarks would add. Is there a specific case where you would use these buttons instead of clicking the icons?

If these buttons are added to the UI, I think they should be added as part of the official VR Scene Inspection add-on in the Landmarks panel. Not sure exactly where the best location would be, but maybe to the right of the list view underneath the options menu ('v' icon) as '->' and '<-' icons or something.

Here's what the landmark switcher add-on currently looks like in master:

@JulianEisel What are your thoughts on this (particularly the UI)?

Having buttons for this in the UI indeed seems redundant. But as operators that can be triggered from within the VR session (e.g. via controllers) they can be quite useful I think.
Like said the functionality should be integrated in the existing VR Scene Inspection Add-on then.

Is it possible to mark this addon as "obsolete"? It became useless because of new VR capabilities in Blender 3.0.

Roman Shuvalov changed title from ~~VR Landmark Switcher~~ to VR Landmark Switcher (obsolete)
