Request : Onwards style locomotion with touch #28

I imagine adding full touch support would be probably impossible but being able to use touch not only as a 'gamepad' but to separate head tracking and movement would be a great move.

In Onwards you move where your controller is pointed so you can look one way and move the other. It's also very comfortable for most users.

Essentially you would track the yaw rotation of a controller and use that to orient the forward direction, rather than moving forward where the HMD is pointing....

If this is possible in MotherVR it would be great..... running from the alien while looking back at it :)

The game has no way to track the yaw of the controller. The reason we are able to use a VR headset in this game is because the developers added support for the DK1 and 2 to the game. He just modified that to work with the CV1. The reason he can't add the touch controllers as a gamepad is because they aren't regular xinput controllers. Developers have to specifically add the SDK's to their game for the ability to use touch controllers.

Nibre has said that adding touch support is a possibility. Look at what they are doing with Half Life VR ..... it's possible ....

The HalfLifeVR analogy unfortunately isn't so relevant as they have SDK access there. I would think this is technically possible but a large amount of work. Technically it should be possible to emulate the gamepad with the Touch controllers similar to the way VorpX handles it. That way position of the controller could be multiplied to the thumbstick matrix. However it is a large amount of work for arguably quite a subtle change. I agree it would be great to have.

This is something that I plan on doing, and it should be possible to do

It is possible. Another dev had to reverse program to get gta to work in vr and get motion controls working.

Touch would be great. Using Touch in the Doom3 Fully Possessed mod has been awesome. Even emulating split gamepad or something like what Vorpx does with Touch would be better than nothing, Any news on this?
