Interaction Manager

in Questions And Answers

I'm looking for an equivalent to the interaction manager that is in the Astroman (HA 210) tutorial.

I don't see anything in the Holotoolkit like this but it seems like pretty core functionality that would be in Holotoolkit (GazeEnter/GazeExit)

Any best practice ideas/suggestions? Should we just rip the code for it out of the 210 tutorial?

    The RaycastHit HitInfo property has the focusedObject (HitInfo.collider.gameObject). If the bool Hit property is false, then the focusedObject should be considered null.

    The GazeManager in HoloToolkit sends "OnGazeEnter" and "OnGazeLeave" messages to objects as it updates. You can find the code on Github.

    thanks, any reason the FocusedObject is private on this? I'd like to be able to grab the focused object similar to how HA ModelExplorer does.

    I understand a class can be added similiar to InteractibleManager to do this but shouldn't the HoloToolkit just expose the focusedObject property from GazeManager?
