Hover Keyboard
Inputting text in augmented and virtual reality is slow, inefficient, and tedious! We’ve created the Hover Keyboard because our immersive medical applications needed a better way of inputting text.
Now we’re sharing it with you! Hover Keyboard allows developers to integrate a faster, more efficient, and just plain better way of inputting text into all of your AR/VR apps.
Benefits
Quick
Integrate a keyboard that allows users to hover around the keys to quickly input text. It’s much faster than traditional AR/VR text input.
Gestures
Hover Keyboard has been tuned to accurately turn hover gestures into key presses, allowing users to enter complete sentences quickly.
Auto Correct
Mistakes are corrected using an auto correct algorithm that has been tuned for hover gestures.
Extensible and Supported
Our team will be improving on Hover Keyboard and extending its functionality. If you have suggestions on new features, we’d love to hear from you!
Steam VR Support
Hover Keyboard currently only supports SteamVR. In future updates, we plan to support more VR SDKs.
Simple Integration
Integrating Hover Keyboard into your applications is easy! To integrate Hover Keyboard with your rig, you just set the Left or Right SteamVR Laser Pointer to the Pointer Left/Right value on your Hover Keyboard component. Hover Keyboard can be integrated into any InputField by setting the InputField value on the Hover Keyboard component.
