No worries. We all stumble when trying something new - and I stumble 
more than most! :-)

I agree.

In the meantime I did find some time and attempted a mesh camera 
solution. See the attached POV-Ray file. Please read the header in the 
file as there are some quirks with how scenes must be set up and the 
resultant image used.

I would normally post such an example in povray.text.scene-files, but I 
have no VR headset with which to test. Would you please render, view and 
let us know if the result OK or not?

Bill P.
