Request to Increase Distance Grab Range for Objects

Dear Team,

I hope you are doing well.

I would like to request guidance regarding increasing the distance grab range for objects in our application. Currently, the ray-based interaction allows grabbing objects only within a limited range. I want to extend this range so that users can grab objects from a farther distance more comfortably.

Could you please guide me on how this can be achieved? Specifically, I would like to understand:

-> How to increase the raycast distance

-> Whether there are any parameters or scripts that control the grab range

->Best practices to ensure smooth and accurate long-distance grabbing

This enhancement will significantly improve user interaction and usability in our application.

Looking forward to your support.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Deep Suthar

As far as I can tell, you can extend grab distance by adjusting the Ray Interactor settings, not the interactable.

check these:

• Increase Max Ray Distance on your RayInteractor (or DistanceGrabInteractor if using Meta SDK)

• Make sure your objects are within the Interaction Layer Mask

• Adjust grab/selection radius or cone angle if available (helps with accuracy at distance)

Best practices:

• Add a reticle / highlight so users know what they’re targeting

• Use a slight snap or smoothing when selecting far objects

• Avoid extreme distances as too far reduces precision and feels unnatural

So if you extend the ray distance + improve feedback, not just raw range, then it should work how you wanted I think!
