Jump to specific location with position/orientation

Hi everyone,

in my application I want to make "jump" the user to a specific point in space.

I tried to "simply" copy over the position and orientation of the target point to the OVRPlayerController transform:

player.transform.position = jumpLocations[0].position;
layer.transform.rotation = jumpLocations[0].rotation;


(NB: The "copy the orientation" is just a test and will be replaced by adjusting the forward direction of the transform without affecting the camera up/left/right). While the position is set as expected, the orientation is not copied.

Has anyone a hint what to look at?

    You can try looking into the "Follow Orientation" property on the OVRCameraController, but I'm not sure that does exactly what you need. You can also look at "OVRCameraControler::SetOrientationOffset()", though this may be difficult to work with manually. The other option is "OVRDevice::ResetOrientation()" which will recenter the view.

    Hope that helps.
