Changing pitch/roll?

This is something we've decided to start implementing. I can't say when it will be ready, but we're on it.

*love *love ^_^

Thank you very much, I look forward to that, mercy Cybereality for being the link between game creators and devs.
I look forward showing the world what I have been up to for the past 2 years...

I am very new to UDK, I spent a couple of years playing with Unity, but can't really afford the Pro version so I have decided to learn UDK.

I haven't received my Rift yet, so I don't know how it works in UDK. But after playing with UDK for the last week or so, ideally I would like to totally disable anything the Rift tracker does directly with the Pawn, and have a class where I can access the Rift tracking data directly. Then I can use this how ever I want. Is this possible at the moment, or will it be in the future?

Thanks for helping on this one. This added ability will open up Rift development in UDK to more than just FPS. I want to be able to do loops on my roller coaster!

Are there any news on the pitch/roll implementation? I don't have my rift yet, but I will need this feature for my project.

Nope, no news about anything (this, speedtree, scaleform, tracking)..............................

Hi,

I've had some luck changing pitch and yaw (didn't try roll) independent of head tracking.

To decouple I did the following:

- In my custom controller I overrided GetPlayerViewPoint() by copy and pasting from the PlayerController.uc implementation.
- I removed the call to OC.UpdatePlayerViewPoint(self, out_Location, out_Rotation);. This is the line that couples the Controller to the head tracking.
- Then where I want the head tracking information in it's own right (eg, in the Pawn or Controller) I create - A fake controller and a Ocuclus object.

var PlayerController fakeController;
var Oculus _OC;
....

simulated event PostBeginPlay()
{
	super.PostBeginPlay();	
	fakeController=Spawn(class'PlayerController');
	_OC= new class'Oculus';	
}

Then when I want head tracking information:

_OC.UpdatePlayerViewPoint(fakeController, v, r);
currentOCRotator = QuatToRotator(fakeController.CurHmdOrientation);
previousOCRotator =  QuatToRotator(fakeController.BaseHmdOrientation);

I was able to use this in the game pawn's CalcCamera function to rotate the view independent of the pawn's movement.
Unfortunately I'm doing an ant game and all hell broke loose while wall walking.

Quaternion products were not working as expected so it's quite likely this hack is missing something.

Additionally, debugging this without the console is insane.

In UDKEngine.ini change bAllowEditor = True. This will let you use "Play from here" in the editor with the head tracker and therefore let you use `log for diagnostics. (UDKlift.exe editor -log)

I apologize for typos, it's 1am and I need some sleep for work tomorrow!

Is this feature included in RC2 of OUDK? I've updated my project with the latest and still can't get pitch and roll to affect the Rift's view.

I hate to bump, but I really need this feature for my project. We're getting close to the point where we'll be blocked from progressing on the design side without this feature.

Let me see if I can get an update on this issue.
