tracked-controls
Note: This documentation is for the old 0.5.0 version of A-Frame. Check out the documentation for the current 1.6.0 version
The tracked-controls component interfaces with tracked controllers. tracked-controls uses the Gamepad API to handle tracked controllers, and is abstracted by the hand-controls component as well as the vive-controls and oculus-touch-controls components. This component elects the appropriate controller, applies pose to the entity, observes buttons state and emits appropriate events.
Example
Note that due to recent browser-specific changes, Vive controllers may be returned by the Gamepad API with id values of either “OpenVR Gamepad” or “OpenVR Controller”, so using idPrefix for Vive / OpenVR controllers is recommended.
<a-entity tracked-controls="controller: 0; idPrefix: OpenVR"></a-entity> |
Value
| Property | Description | Default Value | |————-|————————————————————– –|—————| | controller | Index of the controller in array returned by the Gamepad API. | 0 | | id | Selects the controller from the Gamepad API using exact match. | | | idPrefix | Selects the controller from the Gamepad API using prefix match. | |
