Player Input Using Gear VR Touchpad

Unity Engine
1

Hi! First off, I’m VERY new to Unity, so sorry if I don’t quite understand something! But I’ve been making some simple scenes and I just can’t figure out how to use the touchpad on the Gear VR to let the player walk around the scene. I’ve been able to get some movement by changing the positive input of the vertical axis to “mouse 0,” but I can’t figure out how to let the player control which way they are walking by where they are looking. :slight_smile:

Hi Im having the same problems, so interested to find the answer. If I dig anything up will let you know.

Thanks! :slight_smile: I’ll keep playing around with it too, and if I find anything I’ll let you know as well. This is getting a little annoying…

You likely need the Oculus Utilities for Unity :

This package includes an InputManager class and I believe it handles touchpad input.

I am wondering if it is possible to use a walking around script ( similar to VR cardboard) attached to the OVR camera in VR Gear to create simple touchpad free interactive movement?
