So with the recent announcement of the GearVR controller, I was wondering what the plans are for supporting this with Oculus Avatars. I'm quite interested in the controller, and would love to have support for it through the SDK if possible. Are there any plans for this? If so, what does the timeline look like for support?
Great question. This is definitely an area we want to invest in more via the SDK.
At present there's a Unity and native package to support the Gear controller, which we're providing to developers looking to implement the remote.
Longer term we will aim to have in built support as well as a simplified interaction model (vs. Touch) as part of the Avatars SDK.
if you're interested in getting a hold of the unity package I suggest reaching out to your developer relations POC who can route you internally to the latest beta builds, optionally PM me and I can put you in touch.
