Is there a list of XR.InputDevice.Name strings?

Unity Engine

I want to differentiate between controller types, and the best way I’ve seen is using XR.InputDevice.Name (if there is a better way, please do share). Using my Oculus Touch (v1) controllers I get the strings “Oculus Touch Controller - Left” and “Oculus Touch Controller - Right”, is there a list of the strings for major controller types (Vive, WMR, Index)?

I’m after the same thing, have you ever found it?

I’m parsing device name and then map result to controller models

If you’re looking for pre-OpenXR device names this way of doing it will only work till you upgrade, afterwards that information is hidden behind OpenXR’s unity API at the moment. It’s best to currently just ask the user what headset they’re using from what I’ve gathered; I have a long and detailed post about this problem here for those who need it. It also contains some of the (legacy) device names you’re looking for.

Thanks, that’s very helpful

@vadimtihonyuk do you have a full list of device strings?

I know of few on OpenXR side
“Oculus Touch Controller OpenXR”, “Windows MR Controller OpenXR”, “Index Controller OpenXR”, “HTC Vive Controller OpenXR”

But I’m looking for a more compehensive list for different XRPlugins (eg. OpenVR, Oculus, Windows Mixed Reality) - I know of some, but withouth those headsets I can’t work out the others.

I was hoping there’d be some mapping property / file somewhere on c# or c++ side of Unity.

Yes just be warned that “Oculus Touch Controller OpenXR” will return the same thing for any of the Oculus controller. or any controller which use the same button layout [Rift 1, Quest 2, and bizarrely the HP Reverb G2, if not more]. You can’t really use them to tell apart different headsets even with the same button layout. It’s best to use a drop down to future proof yourself in my opinion.
