[Unity3D] Get Proximity Sensor Status

[Fangh]

Hello everyone.
 

For any headset, with Unity, it's possible to use XRDevice.userPresence to get the status of the proximity sensor.

How can I have access to the proximity sensor with my Vive Focus ? I did not find any clue in the SDK Docs.

Thank you.

Hello @Fangh,

Since Android has existing common APIs to access status from proximity sensor, we don't pack these kind of APIs inside of the Wave SDK.

This means you can use API provided by Android SDK to retrieve the all sensor status.

Let us know if you need more assistance.

Thanks.

For anyone else needing this I used this free plugin to get a hook: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/integration/pa-proximity-25685

Cheers.

Sample code:

        public static bool IsUserPresence()
        {
#if UNITY_ANDROID
            if (ProximitySensor.current != null)
            {
                if (!ProximitySensor.current.IsActuated())
                    InputSystem.EnableDevice(ProximitySensor.current);

                return ProximitySensor.current.distance.ReadValue() < 1; // near p-sensor < 1cm
            }
            else
            {
                return false;
            }
#else
            return true;
#endif
        }
