VRKB: Virtual Reality Keyboard

Please note: This assets requires 6DoF (6-degrees-of-freedom) VR controllers and is intended for PCVR systems (e.g. Oculus Rift, HTC Vive). It will not work well for mobile VR systems! (e.g. GearVR, Daydream, Oculus Go)

VRKB is a virtual keyboard that enables comfortable and efficient text entry in VR. The keys are struck with virtual mallets, providing an experience similar to playing a xylophone or a drum kit. For PCVR, this typing method is both faster and more intuitive than the laser-pointer-style keyboards currently in popular use.

* Unity 5.5 or newer

* TextMesh Pro (free)

* VR HMD with 6DoF controllers (e.g. Oculus Rift, HTC Vive)

FEATURES

* Easy setup using keyboard and mallet prefabs

* Works with any VR SDK that supports 6DoF controllers

* Example scenes provided for Oculus, SteamVR 1.0, and SteamVR 2.0

* Easy access to all ASCII characters/numbers/symbols

* Key autorepeat with adjustable delay and repeat rate

* Customizable key mappings/labels/icons via JSON config file

* All source code included. No hardcoded dependencies on particular VR SDKs!
