First person locomotion using Oculus Go Controller with Oculus Integration Asset

Hi,
I'm using the Oculus Integration package from asset store to get the basic packages for Oculus Go VR development with Unity. I used the OVRPlayerController prefab, but I'm unable to move the character using the controller, whereas when I run the scene in unity, I'm able to move using WASD and rotate left/right using Q and E keys. Since this is a VR package, how come its not working for Oculus Go Controller but only for keyboard? Please help

 

I don't know an answer to your question, but for what it's worth, I've been doing quite a lot of development for Oculus Go lately, and I don't use the OVRPlayerController prefab. Oculus's sample code makes everything way more complicated than it needs to be.

Instead I suggest you just make your own movement controller. Depending on what style of movement you want to do, this can be as easy as detecting a touch on the thumb disc, and setting your navMeshAgent.velocity accordingly. Something like:

Code (CSharp):

1.         Vector3 targetVelocity = Vector3.zero;
2.         if (OculusInput.IsDiscTouched()) {
3.             if (touchDownTime == 0) touchDownTime = Time.time;
4.             float timeSinceDown = Time.time - touchDownTime;
5.             Vector2 pos = OculusInput.GetDiscTouchPos();
6.             float throttle = throttleCurve.Evaluate(pos.magnitude);
7.             if (Mathf.Abs(pos.x) > Mathf.Abs(pos.y) && timeSinceDown < sideTouchDelay) throttle = 0;
8.             if (throttle > 0.01f) {
9.                 if (pos.y < 0) pos.y *= reverseSpeedFactor;
10.                 targetVelocity = forward * speed * throttle * pos.y
11.                     + right * speed * throttle * pos.x * sideSpeedFactor;
12.             }
13.         } else {
14.             touchDownTime = 0;
15.         }
16.         velocity = Vector3.MoveTowards(velocity, targetVelocity, acceleration * Time.deltaTime);
17.         moveLimiter.SetVelocity(velocity);
18.  

OculusInput is my own little helper module, here are the relevant methods from that:

Code (CSharp):

1.     public static bool IsDiscTouched() {
2.         #if UNITY_EDITOR
3.         if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W)) {
4.             _instance.touchDownPos = new Vector2(0, 1);
5.             _instance.touchDownTime = Time.time;
6.         }
7.         return (Time.time < _instance.touchDownTime + 0.1f);
8.         #else
9.         return OVRInput.Get(OVRInput.Touch.PrimaryTouchpad);
10.         #endif
11.     }
12.    
13.     public static Vector2 GetDiscTouchPos() {
14.         #if UNITY_EDITOR
15.         return _instance.touchDownPos;
16.         #else
17.         return OVRInput.Get(OVRInput.Axis2D.PrimaryTouchpad);
18.         #endif
19.     }
