Useful for setups in which you have a seat just outside your VR space, or like to sit in the middle of your space for any amount of time. Will fade out the boundaries to 0% opacity over 5 seconds, 5 seconds after you sit down. Standing back up to the configured height will make them pop back in immediately. Can be found under Chaperone -> Additional Settings.

Noting here before I forget - this is in device coordinates (which includes offsets) so it'll be affected by space drag. Need to adjust that! |

Wow, I found time to finish it!
When I play VR for extended periods, I usually play in one of two ways - standing up or sitting down, either on the floor or on nearby furniture. The furniture presents a problem though, as I usually have to go and disable my chaperone manually when sitting to have a good experience, then re-enable it manually when standing up again.
These changes add a simple feature - when the user's head ducks below a (configurable) height for more than 5 seconds, slowly fade the chaperone distance (originally opacity, but that didn't work) down to 0.0f, effectively disabling it.
Since this feature conflicts with the disable and fadedistance features, they're disabled in the UI when it's enabled. The fadedistance when 'standing' is hard-coded to 0.4f for now.
