Detect if Global Menu Currently Open (Rift)

I need to disable interaction when the user opens/is navigating the global oculus menu (from pressing the oculus logo button on the remote) on a PC Rift build.

Is there any way of detecting if the global menu is currently open? There seems to be a way on GearVR in the moonlight API but I can't find a matching version for PC builds.

Thanks,
Sam

Try OVRManager.instance.hasVrFocus.

Hi vrdaveb,

Thanks for your quick reply!

Unfortunately we want to handle removing your headset differently to entering the global menu, both of which trigger vr focus loss, is there a way to differentiate between the two?

Thanks,
Sam

Sorry, at the moment there is no way to distinguish between the health & safety warning, universal menu, or another (sideloaded) app. We only recently added the ability to keep an app running while it is unfocused (by checking the Run in Background box).

Okay, at least we know for certain now, I think we can put in a work around for this issue to tide us over, thanks for your response!
