Loving this! Just installed today on Unity6 and been having a blast. I was wondering if anyone has come up with any kind of hand based gesture or teleport to move through a space yet.
Hello Nynex!
It sounds like you’re diving right into VR with Needle Engine! For locomotion, you can implement hand-based gesture or teleportation features using the XRControllerMovement component. Here are key points and examples for what you’re looking for:
-
Teleportation:
- The
XRControllerMovementcomponent allows teleportation via gestures like pinching. You can enable this feature with properties such asuseTeleportandusePinchToTeleport. - It uses raycasting to determine where the user can teleport based on where they are pointing with the controller.
- The
-
Gesture Control:
- You can detect specific gestures (like pinch) using input from the XR controllers. This allows you to create custom locomotion methods or enhance teleportation using hand movements.
-
Movement:
- Basic forward/backward movement can also be controlled using thumbsticks, while rotations can be managed with joystick inputs.
Here’s a sample code excerpt for implementing teleportation and gesture recognition using XRControllerMovement:
import { XRControllerMovement } from "@needle-tools/engine";
const controllerMovement = new XRControllerMovement();
controllerMovement.useTeleport = true; // Enable teleportation
controllerMovement.usePinchToTeleport = true; // Pinch gesture to teleport
controllerMovement.movementSpeed = 1.5; // Set movement speed
const handleTeleport = (controller) => {
const teleportInput = controller.getGesture("pinch")?.value;
if (teleportInput > 0.8) {
// Trigger teleportation logic here
}
};
// Assign the function to handle teleportation on update
controllerMovement.onUpdateXR = (args) => {
const rightController = args.xr.rightController;
if (rightController) {
handleTeleport(rightController);
}
};
This sets basic teleportation and demonstrates how to use gesture control. Make sure to review your component settings within Unity to ensure everything is configured correctly.
