It's a bit odd to map all of the actions to the same button. Does your input device only have a single button? The GrabWorldStyle requires a button press to rotate or translate the view, but that same button is also resetting any modifications it makes (since "Reset world" is mapped to MyRightButton along with translate/rotate). These should each be set to unique buttons. Try using other buttons for reset/translate/rotate world. You can add "dummy" buttons to the VR config if needed, just set the button's "id" number higher than your device supports.
