Behavior adding support to apply hand pose to VR Hand.

Behavior queries VR hand device for bone poses and applies them to the VR hand component.

Creates an animator to apply the states. This allows to chain other animators like ECBehaviorActorAnimated for best performance. The bone names can be modified to adjust to rigs using different names.

The default bone names are these:

• Origin set to VR Hand: origin
• Wrist: hand
• Thumb: thumb1, thumb2, thumb3
• Index: index1, index2, index3, index4
• Middle: middle1, middle2, middle3, middle4
• Ring: ring1, ring2, ring3, ring4
• Pinky: pinky1, pinky2, pinky3, pinky4

Models of varying size can be used.

By default only rotation of bones are used. If you want to use also positions you have first to set onlyRotation element class property to false. Using models with position transfer requires some additional care to work properly. In particular the model rig has to match as closely as possible the rig used by the VR runtime except for scaling. The behavior scales the input data to fit the model size. For this process to wor you have to measure the distance from the middle finger tip bone to the wrist bone. Use the base of these bones not their tails (in Blender3D). Set this values as the fingerTipDistance element class property:

getFingerTipDistance().setValue(0.165)

The default distance is 0.165 which is a measuring of a typical VR hand model.

This behavior can be added twice to an element to add support for left and right hand controller. Use the behavior identifier to tell them apart.

Element class properties have the prefix vrHandPose. or vrHandPose({id}). if id is not empty.

• ECBehaviorVRHand

ECBehaviorVRHandPose.

Since DragonScript Module Version 1.7

• Animate hand to match VR hand device supporting hand tracking.

This example defines an element which supports hand tracking.

class MyElement extends BehaviorElementClass
  public var ECBehaviorVRPlayspace vrPlayspace
  public var ECBehaviorVRHand vrHandRight
  public var ECBehaviorVRHand vrHandLeft
  public var ECBehaviorVRHandPointAt vrRightHandPointAt
  public var ECBehaviorVRHandPointAt vrLeftHandPointAt
  public var ECBehaviorVRHandPose vrHandPoseRight
  public var ECBehaviorVRHandPose vrHandPoseLeft
  func new()
    vrPlayspace = ECBehaviorVRPlayspace.new(this)
    vrHandRight = ECBehaviorVRHand.new(this, vrPlayspace, InputDeviceType.vrRightHand, BaseVRActorClass.idVRRightHand)
    vrHandLeft = ECBehaviorVRHand.new(this, vrPlayspace, InputDeviceType.vrLeftHand, BaseVRActorClass.idVRLeftHand)
    vrRightHandPointAt = ECBehaviorVRHandPointAt.new(this, vrRightHand, BaseVRActorClass.idVRRightHand)
    vrLeftHandPointAt = ECBehaviorVRHandPointAt.new(this, vrLeftHand, BaseVRActorClass.idVRLeftHand)
    vrHandPoseRight = ECBehaviorVRHandPose.new(this, vrHandRight)
    vrHandPoseLeft = ECBehaviorVRHandPose.new(this, vrHandLeft)
  end
end

Using element class supporting adding behaviors the behavior can be added like this:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<elementClass name='MyClass' class='GenericBehaviorElement'>
  <behavior type='ECBehaviorVRPlayspace'/>
  <behavior type='ECBehaviorVRHand' id='right'/>
  <behavior type='ECBehaviorVRHand' id='left'/>
  <behavior type='ECBehaviorVRHandPointAt' id='right'>
    <string name='vrHand'>right</string>
  </behavior>
  <behavior type='ECBehaviorVRHandPointAt' id='left'>
    <string name='vrHand'>left</string>
  </behavior>
 
  <behavior type='ECBehaviorVRHandPose' id='right'>
    <!-- required: use vr hand with id. -->
    <string name='vrHand'>right</string>
 
    <!-- set element properties. omit property prefix if used inside behavior tag -->
    <float name='.fingerTipDistance'>0.15</float>
  </behavior>
 
  <!-- for adding multiple behaviors use unique identifiers -->
  <behavior type='ECBehaviorVRHandPose' id='left'>
    ...
  </behavior>
</elementClass>
