Any example of the new 2019.1 XR input system?

Unity Engine

In case it helps anyone, the following script will allow you to call any method when a button is pressed, and when it’s released. This only works for the Button entries here (Unity - Manual: Unity XR Input) but it can easily be adapted to work with the Axis as well. Just attach this to any game object.

namespace Zenva.VR
{
    public class ButtonController : MonoBehaviour
    {
        static readonly Dictionary<string, InputFeatureUsage<bool>> availableButtons = new Dictionary<string, InputFeatureUsage<bool>>
        {
            {"triggerButton", CommonUsages.triggerButton },
            {"thumbrest", CommonUsages.thumbrest },
            {"primary2DAxisClick", CommonUsages.primary2DAxisClick },
            {"primary2DAxisTouch", CommonUsages.primary2DAxisTouch },
            {"menuButton", CommonUsages.menuButton },
            {"gripButton", CommonUsages.gripButton },
            {"secondaryButton", CommonUsages.secondaryButton },
            {"secondaryTouch", CommonUsages.secondaryTouch },
            {"primaryButton", CommonUsages.primaryButton },
            {"primaryTouch", CommonUsages.primaryTouch },
        };

        public enum ButtonOption
        {
            triggerButton,
            thumbrest,
            primary2DAxisClick,
            primary2DAxisTouch,

        public ButtonOption button;

            // get label selected by the user
            string featureLabel = Enum.GetName(typeof(ButtonOption), button);

            // find dictionary entry
            availableButtons.TryGetValue(featureLabel, out inputFeature);

                if (inputDevices[i].TryGetFeatureValue(inputFeature,
                    out inputValue) && inputValue)
                {
                    // if start pressing, trigger event
                    if (!IsPressed)

                        OnPress.Invoke();
                    }
                }

                // check for button release
