I am trying to work on a small VR movement prototype. I am trying to emulate games like “Contractors VR” and “Zero Caliber” and I am having a really hard time understanding what exactly is required for me to implement a simple Smooth Rotation for the player to use without it somehow sending the camera into an orbit-like rotation around the center of the play-space if they step away from the center of their VR play-space.
My problem: When I implement simple tutorials found in forums and youtube videos I can not seem to implement any of them in a way that rotates the player in a stationary position regardless of the player’s position in the play-space.
An example: A typical scenario is standing “against” (parallel with) a wall . If the player is standing in the center of the play-space the camera will rotate in a stationary position and will not clip through the wall mesh at all. However if the player takes a step back inside of the play-space (still standing parallel with the wall) the camera will then begin rotating in an orbit-like nature around the center of the play-space sending the camera through the wall mesh.
My goal: Be able to stand at the corner (or curved spherical edge) of the play-space and to have the camera rotate in a completely stationary position as well as if the player were standing in the middle of the play-space.
Any and all advice/help or feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
