Description

Description:

I'd like to help contribute support for the Valve Index Controllers.

Here are some official 3d models of the Index Controllers from Valve that we might be able to use: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/IndexHardware/tree/master/Controller

It looks like the closest thing that we have now may be the vive-controls component https://github.com/aframevr/aframe/blob/master/src/components/vive-controls.js

  • A-Frame Version: 9.0
  • Platform / Device: Valve Index Controllers
