Question about camera and canvas relationship

hololensor

Hello,
I am trying to create a project that has a canvas that follows my gaze as well as other text objects that spawn in certain locations within the world (specified by the gaze at a certain instance) and remain there. I am confused as to the organization and hierarchy of my Unity GameObjects and whether "Virtual Reality Supported" should be selected.

Currently I have an empty parent GameObject, which has one Canvas child with screen space - camera render mode (this is the one that will follow gaze) and another Canvas child with screen space - overlay render mode (this is the one that should stay still.) However, I am not able to spawn items to the second canvas in the current configuration.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@hololensor you want to set the Canvas Render Mode to World Space.

To get the parent gameobject to follow your gaze you would simply reposition the game object as you would any other. The HoloToolkit also has a number of scripts that can help such as TagAlong and Billboard depending on what particular result you are after.

Also, here is a helpful link for using Unity UI elements.
