Simply nod or shake to interact with your non-player character, continue dialogs or navigate through menus in vr.


Head Gesture Recognizer simply identifies nodding and shaking when using a head mounted display (vr headset) in an event based manor. All you need to do is to place the HeadGestureRecognizer-Actor in your levels and bind events to it in the blueprints you want.

Technical Details

Features:

  • Event based recognition of nodding and shaking gestures when using a vr headset.
  • Distinguish between the initial directions (left, right, up, down)
  • Measure speed, movement intensity and repetitions of head gestures.
  • Continuous use (but consider that the user can trigger unintended events if you continuously use the recognition in a scenario where the user moves his head very much).
