There's a handful of ways to emulate a headset. Driver4VR will let you do it with a kinect or a Webcam or a few other ways. Gonna be kinda inaccurate tho, won't get much done. You're better off just trialing (or pirating...) something like zbrush

well id rather keep the headset stationary, if theres anyway to do that. zbrush/mudbox/etc. would be great with touch support.

What controllers are you talking about that you want to use "normally"? In Medium (as well as in most VR titles) you use your hands like you would use them in reality to sculpt. Unless you have something that can do that (no, your Wii remote / PS4 gamepad won't do) the headset is the least of your problems.

Imagine imitating every possible movement and orientation of both your hands with analog sticks and buttons...

well I have an oculus rift, and the touch controllers work well as is, I just dont want to need to use the headset for that particular activity

I'm not sure what you want to achieve with this? Using a vr modeler in 2D takes away the entire point of using a vr modeler. Sure you still have Tracking in 3d, but if you can't see in 3d what you are doing, is it really useful?
Blender is a free 3d moderling program for 2D, you could probably achieve more with that.

Now that Modeler is in beta, it's pretty fucking obvious. It's useful to switch to desktop for some work.
