Futurus Remote Input

A Unity Package for interacting world-space UI from a world-space remote, by Futurus

Use

Create an EventSystem component somewhere in your project, ideally in the first scene so it persists. Remove the default StandaloneInputModule component and add the RemoteInputModule component to replace it.

When you make new Canvases, remove any GraphicsRaycasters and replace with the RemoteInputRaycaster.

Last, write a script that suits your project requirements that implements IRemoteInputProvider. Ensure you register your implementing class with the RemoteInputModule, which you can get a reference to the RemoteInputModule with the by routing through EventSystem.current.currentInputModule as RemoteInputModule
