A work in progress unity package that aims to make the implementation of gyroscopic and accelerometer controls be as seamless as possible with the Unity Input System. Utilizes SDL3 to read IMUs from compatible controllers.
The library utilized to make this implementation possible is built with this small project.
This package is currently compatible with both Windows and Linux.
- Install package through Unity Package Manager
Add the package with the git url:
- Assign IMU binding to input action
Look for the either the "Gyroscope" and "Accelerometer" controls in Gamepad derived layouts and assign it to your preferred action.
Note: IMU controls must be used with Input Actions that are expecting a Vector 3 control
- Connect controller with SDL3 compatible gyro
You should now be able to read the IMU from the Input Action you assigned the binding to.
The package has been tested to work on versions of Unity starting from 2022.3.37f1. In theory, earlier Unity versions should work but this still has not been tested.
It goes without saying that utilizing the gyroscope like this wouldn't have been possible without the fine work from the SDL3 developers. All this package does is use their tools to inject the IMU input into Unity.
