Senseglove in Virtual Reality

Setting up OpenXR

To use nova gloves in Extended reality you need to at minimum follow the below steps. In addition to this, you have to follow the instructions in the section below for “creating a build” as instructions for your specific VR headset varies.

Install the unity open xr manegement plugin
Right click the camera in your scene and press “convert to open XR rig”

Add SG_User to your scene, it can be found under Senseglove/Prefabs

4(optional). using the senseglove demos package, you can also add controller support by adding SG_XR_SimpleControllerSupport to your controller game object and adding a reference to this object in “SGHand Right” and “SGHand Left” under Devices in the “SG_DeviceSelector” script

Set the correct tracking offsets in senseglove > settings

Unity XR
Set the tracker you are using for your application, do mind that you will need the appropriate Open XR plugin to get the correct offsets as the trackers coordinate systems varies based on plugin. See <how to build> on the correct plugins. Note: Automatic detection is extremely unreliable and we strongly reccomend against using this option

Gameobject
if your device is not officially supported by us, you can still manually set up the offset required using game object tracking. you will be required to add SG_SceneTrackingLinks to your scene for this to work houwever.
Your scene is now setup for VR, now you want to install the correct OpenXR plugins for your headset. Follow the instructions in the next section
