Motion Controller not working with Unity UI Buttons

[Marbl70]

Tried to use Motion Controllers together with Unity UI buttons, using latest MixedRealityToolkit from master branch, Unity 2017.2 f3 MRTP, Windows Fall Creator Update and the "InputManagerTest" sample scene from HoloToolkit examples.

When starting the InputManagerTest scene and moving the cursor above the UI canvas button, the cursor is correctly drawn above the button and the button is highlighted.

But after the first click on the button, suddenly the cursor jumps to a different spot and is not drawn above the button anymore when moving over it.

And even worse: clicks are not triggering the button onClick event anymore.

Tried different things but failed to get the motion controller working properly with ui buttons, so that the ui button can be pointed at with the motion controller cursor and pressed by a motion controller button click.

Is there a working sample that shows how point and submit works with motion controllers and ui buttons?

Hmm, this sounds like a bug.

Let me do a quick test to verify.

Hi Stephen,

I used the „InputManagerTest“ scene from "HoloToolkit-Examples/Input/Scenes“.

This scene has a ui canvas button which I tested using the Mixed Reality Portal Simulator as well as a real acer headset device + controller

Thanks, Martin

Which example scenes were you using?

Hmm. I've had two different tests have different results.

I was able to get the controller to "take" focus and click, highlight, etc.

I was also able to duplicate it. We need to figure out exactly what's happening to get a conclusive result with a fix.

I think it's a little difficult to aim at objects without a laser pointer.

Okay, I'm pretty sure I figured it out. There was an open issue about how when you turn your body the motion controllers become de-synced from your view.

This affects what you're pointing at and raycasting against. I noticed that the focus was happening when I wasn't gazing nor pointing at the UI.

I'm going to close this as a duplicate of the other issue.
