How are people making their own hands appear as touch controllers? I'm unable to find any example scripts or scenes for the Touch within Unity, so have just given it a go after looking at the documentation.
I was hoping something like this would work: m_LeftHand.transform.position = OVRInput.GetLocalControllerPosition(OVRInput.Controller.LTouch);
It has, but in a specific area not relative to the Rift headset. As in I'm standing at one end of the room and my hands are at the other end.
If you could shed light on manipulating hands following the touch controllers, I'd appreciate it.
Easiest way to have custom hands is by syncing their position with the left/right hand anchor under the ovrRig supplied with the utilities pack.
All the animations are controlled through layers via the hands animation controller. Capacitive inputs are either 1 or 0, so fingerpoint and thumbs up are just additive layers. Triggers are analog and have a float range of 0->1. The grip trigger blends the grip animation layer from open palm to fist over that range.
As far as i've seen there's no direct reference to the skeleton, and def. no IK as this wouldnt apply here. If you open up the .fbx in a 3d package you should be able to see the animations. So if you want a custom hand, just create a rig similar to the one supplied with the examples, set up your own animations then create a controller that behaves in a similar way to the examples.
Try changing "Tracking Origin Type" of OVRManager to "Eye Level" or "Floor Level". Eye level is mostly for seated games and Floor level is mostly for standing games.
In an attempt at tearing it apart to create our own hands, I can see animation and layers for grabbing, pointing and thumbs up.
Am I right in thinking that the demo uses these layers to switch between the animations and isn't referencing the skeleton or IK poses in any way?
Any feedback on this would be great, I feel like I'm getting somewhere now but have lots of questions and it's very hard to find such simple answers. :neutral:

Thank you so much for the very detailed explanation Mike. I've been looking over the hands and can see everything you've explained so our hands are being created now.
The headset position and controller positions should be in the same coordinate space. However, if the objects are children of different objects, then things can get confusing. You should try making sure both hand models and camera are children of the same object.

Is unity/OVR happy to switch this toggle in game? So if you play seated, or want to sit down after standing you can. My experience has combination of seated and walking/standing so switching in could be useful. Would it require a reset view each time ?
