I'm updating my Gear VR game to support the Gear VR controller (as well as supporting the Oculus Go Controller). When I call OVRInput.RecenterController() to force the controller to update/recenter, nothing happens (although it works when I press the Controller Recenter option on the controller itself)... am I missing something?
I work in Unity (old version though, 5.6.0f3) but I have the latest Oculus SDK scripts... could it be that my Oculus Plugin is too old?...
Or maybe someone can help me with the problem I have. It feels like the Gear VR controller slowly drifts and gets off-synch. So my idea was to update/recenter it every five seconds or so, and slowly adjust it's position/rotation. I noticed that problem in other Gear VR games and I wanted to offer something a little more robust in my game... well, that's as long as OVRInput.RecenterController() properly works ... Don't hesitate to let me know if you found a way around this problem 🙂

The recenter method assumes you're pointing the controller forward though. Without having that directional input you can't know where to recenter to.
You make a very good point. I was actually planning to recenter when the controller is pointed forward by the player (there are situations in the game where I can test for it and know that it will be the case). Although I haven't been able to make OVRInput.RecenterController() work so far, I think the drifting is actually not to bad - I recalibrated my phone this week end and it may have been an hardware issue all this time 🙂
