Hololens Unity develeopment

Unity Engine

Hello,

Is it possible to find some help here, I tried searching for tutorials and installing some unity packages but with no success. I have this model of a lathe and it needs to be an interactive presentation for Hololens 2 :‘) showcasing how different parts are moving. On the picture bellow I tried to explain what I need to do: basically the wheel is rotating clockwise or against clockwise and it is controlling the blue block to move left and right.
I am not a programmer :’) and tried to ask Copilot for some help with code but the AI doesn’t really understand what I mean.
I am working with the MRTK3, I managed to make the wheel rotate when my hand rotates. Now the blue block seems to slide sideways wehenver I move my hand left and right and it is not what I want.
Does anybody maybe tell me what is the best solution here, I am also thinking about making an Animation Controller that will allow the blue block slide whenever the wheel is rotated but I am not sure how succesfull this is going to be either.

Hi @strawrobbery ,

Our forum FAQ makes the following statement regarding Hololens development:

How to do X using HoloLens?
Unity does not implement AR Foundation support for HoloLens. Microsoft owns and maintains their AR Foundation provider plug-in and build tools. For any questions regarding HoloLens other than specifically the UnityEngine or UnityEditor API’s, please refer to the Microsoft Mixed Reality forums: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/mixed-reality/ct-p/MicrosoftMixedReality

As @mike-copley-unity mentioned, we can’t provide HoloLens specific support. However, you should be able to do this through built-in Unity functionality.

Using an animation controller is a reasonable approach. You can build your animation controller through a GUI (i.e., no code), although you will need code to set the wheel rotation state (clockwise / counterclockwise). I would encourage you to seek out an animation controller tutorial. It will be difficult to do this without some basic understanding of the system.
