SteamVR 2-axis Circular Drive.

Unity Engine
1

Hey

I’ve been trying to write a script similar to SteamVR’s circular drive, however, I want it to be able to rotate around 2 different axis(X, Y).
Does anyone know how to implement what I just described?

Thanks

For anyone curious, this worked for me(SteamVR integration).

private bool grabbed;
    private Hand hand;
    private GrabTypes grabbedWithType;

    private Quaternion _delta;

    private void Start()
    {
        grabbed = false;
    }

    private void HandHoverUpdate(Hand hand)
    {
        if(hand == this.hand || !grabbed)
        {
            GrabTypes startingGrabType = hand.GetGrabStarting();
            bool isGrabEnding = hand.IsGrabbingWithType(grabbedWithType) == false;

            if (grabbedWithType == GrabTypes.None && startingGrabType != GrabTypes.None)
            {
                grabbedWithType = startingGrabType;
              
                grabbed = true;
                this.hand = hand;

                var lookAt = Quaternion.LookRotation(hand.hoverSphereTransform.position - transform.position);
              
                _delta = Quaternion.Inverse(lookAt) * transform.rotation;
            }

            else if (grabbedWithType != GrabTypes.None && isGrabEnding)
            {
                grabbed = false;
                grabbedWithType = GrabTypes.None;
                this.hand = null;
            
            }
        }

    }
    private void Update()
    {
        if (grabbed)
        {
            transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(hand.hoverSphereTransform.position - transform.position) * _delta;
        }
    }
