Gaze Timer

(1/8) > >>

detomato:
Hi, is there any gaze timer action available? Already searched the forum, but nothing with the said function. And theres a tut from Youtube which doesnt work as expected.

Basically need an action when an object is gazed for certain amount of time.

Thanks.

I did this by basically having a long thin box as a child of the camera. So effectively the same as attaching a pole to your head. Then you put triggers around the objects you're trying to interact with and just look for collisions between the pointer object and the triggers.

Hi,

 It's a good approach indeed. but would require some fiddling around if you wanted to control UI elements too.

 For UI gaze controls, I created a sample on the Ecosystem.



Bye,

DinaHaines:
In summary, create a script to time the gaze, by cumulatively adding Time.deltaTime on each frame when the object is gazed at. When gaze time hits a pre-specified duration, trigger the button's OnClick event.

On the object, activate the script's gaze timing functions using event triggers Pointer Enter and Pointer Exit.

Hello guys!

What is the best way for this?

Basically I want to have 2 buttons... and I want a button to only trigger when you look at it for like 3 seconds or something. Eventually it would be nice to have an indication... like the button filling up or something.

Thank You!

EDIT:
@Jean - I found your Gaze thingie on the EcoSystem, however it generates an error:
