Moving rigidbody in Unity project with Gear VR touchpad

Question

In Unity 5.3.3, how do you get the Gear VR touchpad to move a character/rigidbody?

Answer 1

Maybe this is what you want: Interaction in VR

The Gear VR has a touchpad on the side of the HMD. This appears as a mouse to Unity, and so we can use the following:

• Input.mousePosition
• Input.GetMouseButtonDown
• Input.GetMouseButtonUp

With Gear VR we also need to get swipe data from the touchpad. We’ve included a sample script called VRInput which deals with swipes, taps, and double-taps. It also allows directional arrows and Left-Ctrl (Fire1 in Unity default input terms) on a keyboard (or Left Mouse button) to trigger swipes and taps.
