Controllers emulation

[davide445]

Evaluating the best way to introduce hand tracking on Vive Cosmos (currently used for demos and testing for industrial sim projects) or Vive Pro (probably used on customer side).

Since we didn't need complex interaction the best option will be to just simulate a controller input, so to guarantee out of the box compatibility with current applications and used 3d engine, avoiding also the HTC hand tracking SDK that will need us to custom integrate the hand tracking in every new application or develop a new plugin for the 3d engine (not using Unity or Unreal).

Want to know if this will be possible using current Orion software.

It's possible, though if you're not using Unity or Unreal then it would require a custom integration regardless?

[davide445]

Maybe needed to more specifically ask if will be possible to develop a driver, so that any action will be mapped as controller action and didn't need a custom integration.

Can you DM me with a bit more info about your deployment, or email alex.colgan@ultraleap.com? I'm having difficulty grasping what specifically you have in mind, and if this is an industrial deployment it may be worth a quick chat.

@AlexColgan sent you an email with this and a new project needs, will need to have a decision in a few days so happy for any feedback.
