Description

I would be very interested in being able to use the Vive controller as a remote controller, as with the space craft on the table in The Lab.

I already have the craft set up in the Unity Scene, controlled by the WASD keys, so any idea how I can grab and translate Vive controller position to those?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how VRTK handles controller input and look for examples of mapping controller position to game object movement. Check the SDK bindings (e.g., SteamVR) for position data and apply it to your craft's transform using Unity's API.
