Daydream guides/tutorials/documentation - specifically for controller?

They are still working on an API for built in swipe gestures, but you can build them yourself if you don’t want to wait.

If you have Google’s patches for Unreal, the daydream controller is treated as a standard motion controller. Use input nodes MotionController Thumbstick X and Y (either L or R - just be consistent) to get the touchpad inputs each frame. There are quite a few examples out there of swipe implementations for mouse - use those as a basis.

MotionController Thumbstick button for the touchpad press.
MotionController Shoulder button for the ‘app’ button.

Suggested usage is the project settings -> input -> Action and Axis Mappings

There is no access to the system or volume buttons, so the above keeps it pretty simple.

There are several other little caveat here and there. Mostly, look at all the information for general MotionControllers, and that is how you use the Daydream controller. Don’t forget to check and implement Left vs Right handed (api for which is set is in the Daydream BP library). You may have to test for and handle controller disconnects yourself. Sustained mode vs Performance mode is an important decision for optimization vs runtime capabilities - make that choice early.

Thank you for your help. I appreciate it
