Cut scene and VR - Pause VR but keep view in Oculus

Hello everybody,

I am trying to make the view in oculus work while the camera is controlled inside cut scenes.

It is a small demo game I am upgrading from mobile, and has like 3 - 4 seconds cut scenes.

But the player can't move the camera otherwise he will see all the flaws in the character arms.

Thanks

 

Can't find a solution for that!

I also don't know how to make others camera in the scene to ignore the movements.

 

As suggested here you could render to a texture and display that instead:

Oh no.. that is really bad.. but thankfully there are solutions and tricks for anything in life.

I made a small script that is almost perfect for that, still didn't make enough test in game.

On Y angle it works perfectly, the problem is on x and z, that it kinda twist. But, inside oculus rift it is almost unperceptive.

If anyone wanna try to make it better or use it the way it is, I think it is working.

Here is the rig I had to do for the camera to stop moving:


Here is the script:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class FreezeOculus : MonoBehaviour {
5.     Transform cam;
6.     public Transform camFather;
7.     // Use this for initialization
8.     void Start () {
9.         cam = gameObject.transform;
10.     }
11.  
12.     // Update is called once per frame
13.     void LateUpdate () {
14.         Vector3 newRot = cam.transform.localEulerAngles;
15.         Quaternion newRotWorld = cam.transform.localRotation;
16.  
17.         camFather.localRotation = new Quaternion(-newRotWorld.x, -newRotWorld.y, -newRotWorld.z, 1);
18.         camFather.localEulerAngles = new Vector3(camFather.eulerAngles.x, -newRot.y, camFather.eulerAngles.z);
19.     }
20.  
21.     void OnDisable()
22.     {
23.         camFather.localEulerAngles = Vector3.zero;
24.     }
25. }

I am basically rotating the parent on the opposite side of the camera, on Y it is pretty simple with euler angles, but it is hard to control on X and Z since it seems that on affect the other. But in oculus is almost unperceptive, as I said before.

Hope someone can make it better, it is just a concept yet.. hhehehee.. but it is working

Hope it helps someone else.

 

All right.. I tested in game... it is working.. not good for my stomach though.. :x like 5 seconds of cg... the head track makes lots of difference for the sickness... Or maybe I am just weak for it.. hahaha
