Hi

I'm a developer and I've got a DK2 at the moment. I still have to wait 2 months before I wil recieve my CV1. As I'm already supporting the CV1 one of the question I get asked a lot is support the CV1 remove. So my questions. Firstly is there any way to just get my hands on just the remote so I can support it and my second question is are there any guides or information that could help me support it blind in Unity.

If this question has already been asked I apologies. It's a bit difficult developing on hardware you don't have yet.

Looking forward to your suggestions.

Phil

Hi,

You can just map the buttons using the OVRInput. Check the documentation for oculus remote mapping:

There isn't an easy way to get a remote without a Rift because the Rift includes a wireless antenna used by the remote. However, like @rafaelbferrari pointed out, you can write the code using the virtual button mappings in OVRInput and test them with a standard Xbox 360 or Xbox One controller and then expect them to work (only Up, Down, Left, Right, Select, and Back) with the remote.

Yeah, the key line you'll be using is (for the main button) :

OVRInput.GetDown(OVRInput.Button.One)

Thanks for all your support. With your help I've managed to get Remote support into my app and I also managed to test it on a CV1 :)

Cheers everyone.
