Oculus CV1 Remote Input mapping

Question

I would like to map the main CV1 remote button to Fire1 in the Inputmanager, any suggestions?

Answer 1

I have now found out that the trick to getting OVRInput.Get() work properly is to make sure that OVRInput.Update() is called regularly. This can either be done manually or it will be performed automatically if the OVRCameraRig is used, instead of a normal camera.

Here is the steps I took to make input work:

Download the Oculus Utilities for Unity 5 package here: https://developer3.oculus.com/downloads/game-engines/1.10.0/Oculus_Utilities_for_Unity_5/
Unzip and import the OculusUtilities.unitypackage file (Assets -> Import Package -> Custom Package ...)
Make sure 'Virtual Reality Supported' check box is on in Player Settings (Edit -> Project Settings -> Player)
Make sure that OVRInput.Update() is called regularly (for each frame?)

Now you can use for example OVRInput.Get(OVRInput.Button.One) calls to check if the middle round button on the oculus remote is pressed.

Here is an example class that tracks if some of the buttons are pressed during a frame:

 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class OculusRemote : MonoBehaviour {
     void Update ()
     {
         OVRInput.Update(); // need to be called for checks below to work
 
         if (OVRInput.Get(OVRInput.Button.DpadLeft)) {
             print("left button pressed");
         }
         if (OVRInput.Get(OVRInput.Button.DpadRight)) {
             print("right button pressed");
         }
         if (OVRInput.Get(OVRInput.Button.One)) {
             print("round button pressed");
         }
     }
 }

Just attach if to any game object in the scene, and you should see the printouts in the console.

Still trying to figure this out. It keeps giving me an error "NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object OVRInput.GetUp (Button virtualMask, Controller controllerMask) (at Assets/OVR/Scripts/OVRInput.cs:600) "

Can you help me how you did it? @ian1908 or @7a

Thank you for your time!

What i now use is this line of code

 if (OVRInput.GetUp(OVRInput.Button.One, OVRInput.Controller.Remote))
         {
             Debug.Log("remote click");
         }

Is doesnt give any errors, but It doesn't work.

Here are the serveral lines:

 /// <summary>
     /// Gets the current up state of the given virtual button mask with the given controller mask.
     /// Returns true if any masked button was released this frame on any masked controller and no other masked button is still down this frame.
     /// </summary>
     public static bool GetUp(Button virtual$$anonymous$$ask, Controller controller$$anonymous$$ask = Controller.Active)
     {
         return GetResolvedButtonUp(virtual$$anonymous$$ask, RawButton.None, controller$$anonymous$$ask);
     }
 
     /// <summary>
     /// Gets the current up state of the given raw button mask with the given controller mask.
     /// Returns true if any masked button was released this frame on any masked controller and no other masked button is still down this frame.
     /// </summary>
     public static bool GetUp(RawButton raw$$anonymous$$ask, Controller controller$$anonymous$$ask = Controller.Active)
     {
         return GetResolvedButtonUp(Button.None, raw$$anonymous$$ask, controller$$anonymous$$ask);
     }
 
     private static bool GetResolvedButtonUp(Button virtual$$anonymous$$ask, RawButton raw$$anonymous$$ask, Controller controller$$anonymous$$ask)
     {
         bool up = false;
 
         if ((controller$$anonymous$$ask & Controller.Active) != 0)
             controller$$anonymous$$ask |= activeControllerType;
 
         for (int i = 0; i < controllers.Count; i++)
         {
             OVRControllerBase controller = controllers[i];
 
             if (ShouldResolveController(controller.controllerType, controller$$anonymous$$ask))
             {
                 RawButton resolved$$anonymous$$ask = raw$$anonymous$$ask | controller.ResolveToRaw$$anonymous$$ask(virtual$$anonymous$$ask);
 
                 if (((RawButton)controller.currentState.Buttons & resolved$$anonymous$$ask) != 0)
                 {
                     return false;
                 }
 
                 if ((((RawButton)controller.currentState.Buttons & resolved$$anonymous$$ask) == 0)
                     && (((RawButton)controller.previousState.Buttons & resolved$$anonymous$$ask) != 0))
                 {
                     up = true;
                 }
             }
         }
 
         return up;
     }

I haven't had my hands on CV1 yet only D$$anonymous$$2 so can't test and looks like RawButton.Start must work, from the sample OVRInput.GetUp(OVRInput.RawButton.Start);

Thankyou again!

Unfortunatly that doesn't work aswell :(.

I double checked if the remote is on. This is really weird.

I am also on unity version 5.3.4p3

please @Bapez. explain further your findings in : "you must use the OVRcameracontroller from within the package".

I cant figure out where to start modifying my script like you have done:

 if (OVRInput.GetUp(OVRInput.Button.One, OVRInput.Controller.Remote))

is it possible to use the OVRinput by running your script from the OVRcameracontroller or do you have to inject your code into the OVRinput script?

Hi,

I am also having trouble making the oculus remote and touch controllers work in Unity version 5.4.3f1p. Although I haven't figured out how to make the controllers respond to everything, I did discover that "Submit" and "Joystick button 0" respond to "Button.One" on the Oculus Remote. But based on the documentation and the Input Editor it's unclear why that is the case.
