Detect if Daydream VR Headset is On?

Are there API functions (native or exposed to Unity) to detect if :

1. If the device is in the headset?
2. Headset is mounted on user's head?

Thank you!

 

Hi, Celso. Good questions.

1. When your app is launched we'll instruct users to put the phone into the viewer and won't hand control over to your app until that's done. We don't send you "device removed" events but users nearly always just press the X to close the app (which you do get).

2. We do not have an API for this but are looking into idle detection for future updates.

 

Thank you for the quick reply! Glad to hear the plan is to expose this in the future.

 

Any updates on this issue? Is it possible to determine when the device has been inserted or removed from the HUD?

 

Any updates?..

Or work-arounds anyone has figured out since it isn't included in the api?

 

its 2019, im dying of old age here google. Put a bool in already. Jesus

I would not spend any more time developing for daydream, and therefore I do not think that they will add something new to it, or even fixing something. However, maybe you can find some stuff in the Cardboard OpenSource:
