Question Position of an active MRTK 3 pointer

Hi,

I have started to port my application from MRTK 2 to MRTK 3. Since MRTK 3 architecture has been redesigned based on XRI, porting MRTK 2 application is a little confusing especially how to get the coordinates of an active Pointer or controller. Previously for MRTK 2, I could use the following:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.         foreach(var source in MixedRealityToolkit.InputSystem.DetectedInputSources)
3.         {
4.             if (source.SourceType == Microsoft.MixedReality.Toolkit.Input.InputSourceType.Hand)
5.             {
6.                 foreach (var p in source.Pointers)
7.                 {
8.                     if (p is IMixedRealityNearPointer)
9.                     {
10.                          continue;
11.                     }
12.                     if (p.Result != null)
13.                     {
14.                         var startPoint = p.Position;
15.                         var endPoint = p.Result.Details.Point;
16.                         var hitObject = p.Result.Details.Object;
17.                     }
18.                 }
19.             }
20.         }
21.    

For MRTK 3, I couldn't find Input sources directly. Also, MRTK 3 API doesn't provide examples of extracting pointer coordinates.

I have used Solver to achieve that but it's not really accurate. If anyone has any idea that would be really helpful.

Thanks

 

I'm having the same problem, the documentation for MRTK3 is very incomplete.
Can you please share the method to get the location using Solver?

 

Keep a reference of your Left/Right hand Fay Ray in your script (e.g. _leftHand for me). Then based on the type of interactor, you can do raycasting:

Code (CSharp):

1. (_leftHand.TryGetCurrentUIRaycastResult(out _result))

_result.worldPosition is your pointer hit position.
