WVR_GetDefaultControllerRole always reporting right hand?

SDK/docs/en/WVR_GetDefaultControllerRole.html#wvr-getdefaultcontrollerrole

I am trying to support left handed contorllers in my native application. In VivePort, the controller is left handed, but when running in my native SDK based app, the controller seems to always be reported as right handed?

 

The following code always prints "RIGHT HAND!":

WVR_DeviceType role = WVR_GetDefaultControllerRole();
if (role == WVR_DeviceType_Controller_Right) {
// first controller is right hand
  VRB_LOG("RIGHT HAND!");
} else if (role == WVR_DeviceType_Controller_Left) {
// first controller is left hand
  VRB_LOG("LEFT HAND!");
}

 What is the correct way to query the hand preference for the controller?

Try to updat ROM to version 1.21 first, and you will see "Right/Left Hand" switch on Setting overlay.

You can check to change Right or Left hand, and you should receive the value changing regarding to WVR_GetDefaultControllerRole.

Thanks.

I am running ROM 1.21. I did switch to left and in the settings menu. And I do see the controller in the left hand in VivePort. In my native app how ever is WVR_GetDefaultControllerRole always returns right hand.

Do your native apps built on previous SDK (2.0.23)? It requires to build apps based on 2.0.32 (latest one) with ROM1.21 since Right/Left Hand feature is enabled just now.

I'm using the unreal plugin for 4.17: WaveSDK_UnrealPlugin_20180131

which appears to be the previous SDK version. Could I get a link to the new plugin with the newer SDK in it?

 

Many thanks in advance!

Upgrading to the latest SDK fixed the issue.
