Rotation feature for teleport #196

Open adammarcwilliams opened 7 years ago

I tested the new Oculus Touch support last night and it worked beautifully(thank you) but exposed a problem that may not have been an issue for Vive users.

Unless running an experimental 360 set-up we only have front facing sensors which means the controllers loose tracking when we turn away from them (to paint from the back of our scene).

Whilst it would be good to have scaling/rotation tools as in Tilt Brush a temporary measure could be to add a rotation option on the teleport so you use the thumb-stick to set your orientation before releasing.

This would allow users to paint from all angles whilst remain forward facing.

Alternatively, I've become pretty dependent on being able to snap/comfort turn with Oculus thumbstick on all Rift apps. (i.e., thumb stick left to snap-rotate 30 degrees).
