Unreal Engine 4 Virtual Reality Interactions Plugin

Reason for existing

This project is an experiment of creating natural virtual hands.

Goals

Create hands
Interact naturally with everyday items in virtual reality

Goals for hands

Hands should

• interact on the finger level,
• be able to hold things in hand, and
• be able to hold onto things,
• have natural interaction through collision,
• should be controller agnostic (easily support knuckles or oculus touch)

Goal scenarios

• Push buttons using collision (i.e. naturally)
• Hold small objects “in-hand”, being able to throw object naturally or pick items out of your hand with the other hand.
• Hold onto external onbject, being able to manipulate the object, but not strickly control it.
  i.e. hold onto a door handle and move the door, but not have the door “in-hand”
