A drum-style keyboard for VR in Unity
VRKeys is an open source keyboard interface for single-line text input in VR, made in Unity and available for free in the Unity Asset Store.
In addition to the version on the Unity Asset Store, you can manually install VRKeys into an existing VR project (assumes VR support is enabled in your project) via:
Assets/VRKeys/Scenes/Example Scene.unity
to see a working example sceneWhen integrating VRKeys into your own scenes, assign a camera to the Event Camera on the VRKeys > Canvas object.
This prevents Unity from defaulting to calling Camera.main
multiple times per frame, which in turn calls
Object.FindObjectWithTag
on each access. For more info, see point 3 in these Unity UI optimization tips.
