Creating a scrollview with Interaction Engine

mdtsgd 2017-10-16 03:33:14 UTC #1

Hi there. I have seen how Leap hands can control Unity's UI scrollviews using UIInput module. However, the UIInput module is since deprecated and the docs claimed that UIInput has been integrated into Interaction Engine.

I need help to get started building a scrollview that behaves like how it was with UIInput, but this time using Interaction Engine. The examples had nothing about scrollviews, the closest one is Interaction Slider. However, I couldn't figure out how to mask the viewport etc.

Would someone please point out for me where I can get started with this? Thank you!

It should be noted that the Interaction Engine is designed for 3D interfaces. Masking 3D interfaces is harder (not impossible, but harder) than masking 2D interfaces. The Interaction Engine does not integrate with UGUI, which provides 2D interface masking utilities. Consequently, the Interaction Engine doesn't support masking and if you want to use a UGUI-style ScrollView, you'll want to use the UIInput module.

Fortunately, UI Input should generally still work even though it has been deprecated. While we don't test it anymore, there also aren't any compile errors.

Hi Alex,

Sorry this came late. Thank you so much for the clarification! It's great to know that we still can use UIInput module with the new Interaction Engine.
