Holographic Button Tooltips

Feature request

MRTK now supports tooltips that appear when hovering on a 3D button. Specifically, when the controller pointer hovers on the face of a 3D button for about 1 second, a small text block fades in revealing configurable text for that button. When the pointer exits the button, the text block immediately begins fading out.

Here is a screenshot from the Cliff House showing the tooltip:

I am requesting that this feature be added to the Holographic button. At a minimum, the text property would be used to set the tooltip’s content, and an additional Boolean flag, e.g. useTooltip, would cause the text to appear in the tooltip instead of within the button itself. Hover would be triggered by mouse and VR controller enter.

A nice-to-have feature would be the ability to set an alignment preference for the tooltip. For example, there could be an enum property like tooltipAlignment with possible values of Top, Bottom, Left, and Right. The property would cause the tooltip to appear on the given side of the button.
