Newbie here Trying to pull Oculus rotational values

Hi Everyone,

I currently have a DK1 and i'm trying to Output the oculus's Y rotation values to an outside application using either TextWriter or some other drive connect. but i'm having trouble grabbing the Y rotation values and i don't know where there update. my end goal it to send these values to a java script any help is appreciated thanks!

 

The code for grabbing the y rotation of any object in Unity is simple: transform.eulerAngles.y

Create a C# script, and attach it to the Rift's game object in your scene. Make sure the game object you're attaching the script to rotates with the Rift, I believe the "Center eye" (or whatever it's called, I don't have a project open right now) will give the proper y angle. To check which object is going to give a proper y angle, simply use the inspector while running the application in the editor to check for proper changes in the y value. Write the following code inside your script's class:

public float riftYAngle;

void Update()
{
riftYAngle = transform.eulerAngles.y;
}

Now, that script's public variable, riftYAngle, will contain the Rift's y rotation. Send it out any way you want (pipes, TCP, etc.). Hope this helps!
