Tango 4 Unreal Plug-In
The Tango 4 Unreal Plug-In enables the use of Project Tango tablet devices sensors within Unreal 4
Android deployments.
Getting Started
- Create a "Plugins" folder inside you Unreal 4 project, if it doesn't already exist.
- Clone this repository into the Plugins folder:
git clone https://github.com/opaquemultimedia/Tango4Unreal.git- Alternatively, if your project is already a git repository:
git submodule add https://github.com/opaquemultimedia/Tango4Unreal.git- Refer to the Git Book for more
information about git submodules
- Go to your plug-in settings, browse the to "Google" category, enable the plug-in, then restart
the Unreal Editor.
Using the plug-in
Currently, the most stable implementation is the "Tango Motion" component. This retrieves
the device's positional tracking data and presents functions to access it.
In a new blueprint pawn
- Add a "Tango Motion" component to the pawn.
Then in the default variables list of the component:
- Under the Tango|Motion category, change:
- "Position Offset" to:
X 0.0 | Y 0.0 | Z 175.0
In the Event Graph:
- Place a reference to the component in.
- From the component reference, add a "Set Is Sending Motion to Pawn" function node, check the
boolean to true.
- Connect an execution link from the BeginPlay event to the function.
Back in your level:
- Setup the pawn to be the default pawn spawned for the level's game mode, then launch the project
on your device.
- Have fun!
