capture samsung gear vr touch input with unity

I have got the following UI going so far using NGUI + Unity4 and Oculus Unity Integration.



Could anyone please help me out with how can I capture the Samsung gear VR touch pad input using unity ?.

 

Anyone anything ? . I am starting to go crazy here

 

sure, make sure you have the latest SDK (I have 0.4.3) and:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y");
3. Input.GetAxis("Mouse X");
4.  

Will return differential data, and

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0);
3.  

Will detect taps.

 

Is it correct, that Input.GetAxis returns delta values? (I don't have a Gear VR yet)

Is there a way to get the absolute positions where the finger is on the touch pad?

 

yes touch pad Gear = mouse move
Fire1 = tap touchpad
keycode.quit = back boton

 

Mhh I dont get it...
Im trying to rotate an Object via Touchpad. Its rotating correcty the first time im touching the GearVR´s touchpad...BUT the second time i touch it the Object rotate instantly to a "random" degree. From that deegree on im able to rotate it correcty again. This Error appears every time i touch the pad.

I hope someone can help me

Code looks like this

Code (CSharp):

1. void Update ()
2. {
3. Mouse_X = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X");
4. transform.Rotate(0,0,Mouse_X);
5. }

 

Please keep in mind that this is not a VR related question but just a misunderstanding of the unitymechanics. Please research on how to rotate objects in unity yourself, it's pretty well explained in the docs.

The Mouse_X variable in your project probably reaches from -1 to 1. If you press the middle of the touchpad, it's 0, left side 1 and right -1. You need to either store the variable mouse_x_old when releasing the finger and continue rotating from there once you press again, or rotating with time.deltatime and an angle that you save.
