    Hi,

    When playing the project in Portal Hopper in third-person mode using a mouse and keyboard interactable elements can be clicked with a mouse from a long distance. There is probably a ray cast fired from the screen space into the 3D scene to do this.

    My question is can we do this with a VR controller? At the moment, I must come close and physically push or grab the objects to interact with them. Having a laser pointer going out of the controller and being able to interact with buttons and objects from a distance would be much easier than teleporting close to these objects and pushing them.

    Thank you!

    Currently our paradigm is that we want users to fully immerse into the scene. This means, we don’t support manipulation through laser pointers on purpose. This may change if we get a lot of feedback asking for this feature.
