Feature Request XR toolkit two handed grab

We've heard this request multiple times; do you mind submitting this request (if you haven't already) in our XRI public roadmap so the team can prioritize and plan appropriately? Thanks!

 

At the moment, a workaround is to have two interactables that communicate to a common manager to orchestrate the two handed interaction. Also thanks for putting in a feature request!

 

Hey @alsharefeeee,
What @DugganSC said is correct. You can change the Select Mode to multiple and from there you have 2 options. You will want to expand the Grab Transformers Configuration area in the Inspector for the Interactable object. By default, the checkbox for Add Default Grab Transformers should be checked. This will add the XR General Grab Transformer, which supports single and multiple grabs in one. You can also add the specific Transformer you want to use, uncheck Add Default Grab Transformer and then drag the Transformer into the appropriate lists for Starting Multiple Grab Transformers or Starting Single Grab Transformers.

The advantage of this approach, specifically for the XR General Grab Transformer, is that you can further configure options for how the object behaves when grabbed with 2 hands and turn on other features such as 2-handed scaling or movement constraints.

 

That should work fine with a dynamic attach with multi grab.

You can also add the general grab transformer component on your grab interactable to configure 2 handed grab behavior. This is added automatically at runtime if not present, and it has different 2 hand rotation options.

Also if you manually assign both attach transforms on the grab interactable you can chose where the controllers will latch onto during a grab.
