AutoHandSimulator

A keyboard/mouse input to simulate movement and hand controls for the AutoHand package for Unity. This script simulates hardware input (i.e., tracking inputs from XR devices). Therefore, it is equivalent to picking up your device and testing it that way, making it a good tool for debugging without having to put on your HMD.

(Do you like the looks of it? - it's a work in progress. Follow me on twitter , I will be sharing more about this game in the coming months :-) )

Update! - Now includes hand control and improved controls!

To control hands, simply hold down Q for left hand and E for right hand and move the mouse, to move the hands up/down/left/right and scroll to move forward/backwards.

Setup

• Setup AutoHand for Unity.
• Copy Assets folder into your project
• Make sure that MockHMD and either Oculus or OpenXR is enabled: Go to Edit -> Project Settings-> XR Plug-in Management and enable them. If using OpenXR, make sure to disable Mock Runtime if enabled.
• Using the default XRPlayer, attach the Assets/AutoHand/Scripts/DebugTools/AutoHandPlayerControllerInputSimulator.cs to AutoHandPlayer.
• Press play! There are no references required

• If using unity version 2021.2.12f1 or newer, make sure to enable the old input handler: Go to Edit -> Project Settings -> Player -> Under Other Settings under Configuration is the option Active Input Handling. Select Both.

The script should(!) detect whether the Mock HMD / OpenXR is used and if an HMD is NOT attached, and only be effective, if those conditions are met. If that is NOT the case, the code will simply not run. Also, it is using pre-processor directives, so it won't compile for build versions, i.e. you should be able to just leave it there, even for a build version.

Prerequisites

Requires:

• The Mock HMD from unity (get the Mock HMD here: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.xr.mock-hmd@1.0/manual/index.html) and the OpenXR (the default in the standard VR template) or the Oculus plugin.
• The "old" input system from unity, which is the default for Autohand (AFAIK).
• The AutoHand package

Controls

Controls can be rebound to different key-bindings

• W,A,S,D -> Body movement
• HOLD Q-> Left hand movement
• HOLD E -> Right hand movement
• HOLD E + Q -> Both hands movement
• R -> Reset hands to default position
• HOLD Q + LMB -> grab with left
• HOLD E + LMB -> grab with right
• HOLD Q + HOLD E + LMB -> grab with both hands
• ESC or RMB -> unlock cursor from gameview

Settings

Contributions

New to old:

• HotFix for OpenXR freeze frame issue -> MThogersen
  • OpenXR did not work as intended when an HMD was running (AutohandSim didn't turn off, resulting in the first frame being frozen), this fix removes a check in the beginning of the code which eliminates this problem. Tested 20/04/2022 in Unity 2021.2.16f.
  • Removed option to run simulator while running an HMD as this was never properly implemented

---

• Updated default controls -> MThogersen
  • Changed the default control mode to lock the cursor to the game view (FPS style control) until either: ESC is pressed or the LMB is pressed
  • Original control mode (with no cursor lock) is made available through "Cursor Lock" option.

---

• Refactor and compatibility update -> MThogersen
  • Added support for OpenXR's Mock HMD
  • Exposed several settings for more customization
  • Exposed all keyCodes so all buttons can be remapped
  • New enhanced inspector using the familiar Autohand style
  • Exposed grab/release events for further customization
  • Disabled First Person view for now

---

• Merged branch from 0x78f1935 into main

---

• Refactor -> 0x78f1935
  • Changed the way hands move (by raycast)
  • Added First Person view
  • Fixed grab functionality
  • Added reset keybinding
  • Added crouch keybinding

---

• Base Code / idea -> MThogersen
  • Initial commit
