GUI in 3D world space "Monitors / Screens / Displays"

Question

Hello.

Where would i start to make for example a ship monitor with GUI elements on it that are real-time, Basically GUI in 3d world space?

I know there was a asset a while back that did all of this, they also had a video demonstration of them using GUI for interactive monitors, opening doors with keycode and so on, dose anyone know the name of that asset?

Thanks.

You can do this with the new Unity UI

Change your canvas to World Space

Build your UI in place.

Oh really? it has been a while, So i can literally look at a console in game and press a ui element to open a door for example? Thanks.

Yeah, absolutely... you can put a button on the Canvas in your world space UI, and then click the button... and trigger the door opening. Piece of cake. It's a huge improvement over the old way of doing UI.

You should check out the videos on Unity's learn page.
