Krpano WebVR cursor position

Hi,

Is there an variable that returns the VR target cursor position, or does it have to be calculated from the controller position and the direction vector?

Hi,

it can/need to be calculated.

The depth/distance of the target position need to be given from somewhere, e.g. when hitting a hotspot there is the hitd variable which defines the distance to the hitpoint on the hotspot plane.

See the in webvr.xml the 'vrcontroller_target_point' action as example.

Best regards,
Klaus

Thanks for the answer!

I've looked at the webvr.xml the 'vrcontroller_target_point', but the calculations used there don't seem to return the correct values in my js plugin.
Am I using the right krpano hotspot variables?
Also the distance (hitd) is always 0 for some reason.

I'm using Oculus GO headset with Firefox reality browser installed for remote debugging. I'm testing this on 'webvr-controllers' pano.

And here's the relevant piece of code:

Source code

var controllers = krpano.get("webvr.vrcontrollers");
var mainController = controllers[0];
var distance;
if(mainController.hs.hitd > 0)
    distance = mainController.hs.hitd;
else
    distance = 1000;
var clickX = mainController.hs.tx + mainController.hs.dx * distance;
var clickY = mainController.hs.ty + mainController.hs.dy * distance;
