[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

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
        }

Hello,

Just a little update to say that the sample code doesn't seem to work with the latest version of the WaveXRPlugin, however the asset shared by @thylaxene (https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/integration/pa-proximity-25685) still works perfectly.

Also I found this post by looking for a replacement for CommonUsages.UserPresence since it's not supported anymore since the release 5.3.0 of Wave XR Plugin and I wondered why it's no longer supported ? Was it replaced by something else I didn't found ?

Thanks,

Hi @Romain,

Recently, I just tested the sample code provided by BabelSW.

It is still working.

May I know your project setup? Unity version, plugin version... etc.
