Summary of changes in XR Interaction Toolkit package version 2.6:
These new features were backported from version 3.0.0.
The Spatial Keyboard sample provides base prefabs and scripts for implementation and customization of a virtual keyboard.
The GlobalNonNativeKeyboard supports the spawning and positioning of a keyboard prefab, which can be reused as a global spatial keyboard.
The spatial keyboard sample XRKeyboardKey leverages KeyFunctions, which are scriptable objects which can be customized to enable the key commands to support custom keyboard functionality.
The XRKeyboardDisplay component works in conjunction with input fields and can be configured to support the global keyboard or an instanced keyboard in the scene. Additionally, it can be configured to update or clear text on submit and enable the keyboard to monitor character limits. The XRKeyboardDisplay also contains its own set of events that respond to keyboard events which can be useful when using a global keyboard where the context can change frequently.
Multiple keyboard layouts can be supported for a subset of keys on the keyboard. This is demonstrated by the alpha-numeric and symbols layouts in the XRI Keyboard prefab. See keyboard layouts for more detailed information.
Climbing and teleportation has been enhanced to provide teleportation up and down ladders. In addition to simple endpoint-to-endpoint teleportation, Teleportation multi-anchor volumes have been added. These allow multiple predefined teleport outlets per climbing surface which can be selected based on head or eye gaze (or any other method of determination). For more information about these new additions, please read the Locomotion documentation and check out an example of how these updates are used in the Demo Scene of the Starter Assets sample.
For a full list of changes and updates in this version, refer to the XR Interaction Toolkit package changelog.
