Controller and hand input

Setup and configuration

HTK 2017 MRTK v2
Type Specific events for buttons, with input type info when relevant. Action / Gesture based input, passed along via events.
Setup Place the InputManager in the scene. Enable the input system in the Configuration Profile and specify a concrete input system type.
Configuration Configured in the Inspector, on each individual script in the scene. Configured via the Mixed Reality Input System Profile and its related profile, listed below.

Related profiles:

  • Mixed Reality Controller Mapping Profile
  • Mixed Reality Controller Visualization Profile
  • Mixed Reality Gestures Profile
  • Mixed Reality Input Actions Profile
  • Mixed Reality Input Action Rules Profile
  • Mixed Reality Pointer Profile

Gaze Provider settings are modified on the Main Camera object in the scene.

Platform support components (e.g., Windows Mixed Reality Device Manager) must be added to their corresponding service's data providers.

Interface and event mappings

Some events no longer have unique events and now contain a MixedRealityInputAction. These actions are specified in the Input Actions profile and mapped to specific controllers and platforms in the Controller Mapping profile. Events like OnInputDown should now check the MixedRealityInputAction type.
