Gracefully fix mismatched controllers / hands when experience begins #49

Closed cvan closed 3 months ago

cvan commented 8 years ago

When the experience starts, it'd be nice to not have to switch my controllers if my left and right hands are switched. We should detect that and just correct it for the user. At least for this experience, I can't imagine a reason why we wouldn't.

The first controller you active is assigned the right one. If you are left-handed (like me) I usually activate first controllers with left hand and then, the controllers are switched. (I think this is the reason)

But, can't the game just assume that your hands aren't crossed? I mean, it's quite possible, just seems unlikely. Every time I've started up the experience, and almost every time someone else has, I've had to or seen someone switch their controllers (and get momentarily confused such that I had to intervene).

I think with other HTC Vive experiences that use left/right hands (like Job Simulator) it happens too. Or do you know any app that works otherwise (in that case, I'll try to replicate it)

Don't worry about it for now. I'll test several experiences to see. No immediacy needed for this one.
