This is a simple laser pointer component designed for the Widget Interaction system in the UE5 VR Template, allowing it to work even in Shipping builds.

In the default VR Template, the Widget Interaction debug laser is not visible in Shipping builds. This component provides a lightweight alternative laser pointer that works reliably in packaged games.

It can be easily added as a component and used with Widget Interaction to visualize the interaction ray for VR UI.
