What is it?

This is a node library that allows you to interface with your Oculus Touch controllers and headset. It is a wrapper for the auto_oculus_touch project.

With it, you can read the current state of the controllers and headset, send button presses to the controller, or move the thumbsticks.

Installation

npm install node_oculus_touch

Example Usage

Below is a short program that will vibrate both controllers for 1 second whenever the X button is pressed while the headset is being worn.

const OculusTouch = require("node_oculus_touch");
const { OculusTouchControllerEnum } = OculusTouch;

const oculus = new OculusTouch.default();

async function main() {
  while (true) {
    console.log("\n");

    const wearing = oculus.Wearing();
    console.log(`Headset is ${wearing ? "ON" : "OFF"} your head`);

    const x = oculus.GetPositionX(OculusTouchControllerEnum.Head);
    const y = oculus.GetPositionY(OculusTouchControllerEnum.Head);
    const z = oculus.GetPositionZ(OculusTouchControllerEnum.Head);
    const yaw = oculus.GetYaw(OculusTouchControllerEnum.Head);
    const pitch = oculus.GetPitch(OculusTouchControllerEnum.Head);
    const roll = oculus.GetRoll(OculusTouchControllerEnum.Head);
    console.log(
      `Headset Position: (${x}, ${y}, ${z}), Yaw: ${yaw}, Pitch: ${pitch}, Roll: ${roll}`
    );

    const buttonsDown = oculus.GetButtonsDownList(); // Get a list of buttons that are currently held down
    const sensorsTouched = oculus.GetTouchDownList(); // Get a list of capacitive sensors that are currently being touched
    console.log(`These buttons are down: ${buttonsDown}`);
    console.log(`These sensors are touched: ${sensorsTouched}`);

    console.log("Here's a vibration for fun");
    oculus.Vibrate(OculusTouchControllerEnum.Left); // Vibrate the left controller
    oculus.Vibrate(OculusTouchControllerEnum.Right); // Vibrate the right controller

    await oculus.PollAndSleep(1.0); // Poll and wait for 1 second
  }
}

main();

This is a smaple output from the above program:
