Question About Controller Pose Data Availability and Simulation Support

[gxuchenhong-ui]

Hello, may I ask whether this APK is unable to obtain the position and orientation information of the VR controllers? When I switch to using both hands, running the command ros2 topic echo /quest/hand_points also causes the terminal to freeze, and I am unable to receive the position and pose information of either hand.

In addition, I would like to kindly ask if you have any tutorials or documentation related to simulation. Specifically, I am wondering whether it is possible to visualize the robot in RViz even without having access to a physical robot.

I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you very much in advance!

Hey there! Sorry for the delay on our part.

Regarding the APK are you running the ROS2 version?

For the simulation, as long as you have something like a gazebo (here's a tutorial) or rosbag running that is publishing data that rviz is viewing you can visualize that data in this app as well. You can run the TCP Endpoint node on either a simulation or robot network and should be able to visualize the data on the unity app. Unfortunately we don't have a robot model currently implemented from a tutorial such as a turtlebot, but you should be able to sensors and TFs.

Hope this helps!
