Teleport

There are two Teleport features provided by VIROO: Free Teleport and Teleport Points.

Free Teleport

The Free Teleport allows all users to move to any location in your VIROO Application. To do this, the Teleport Ray can be brought up from the VIROO menu. You can also activate the teleport with the middle mouse button in Desktop, or by pressing the right joystick forward in VR.

On CAVE systems the teleport is disabled (free flight mode works instead).

The teleport beam will turn blue when teleporting is possible. In case the beam collides with a surface that is not valid for teleporting, then it will turn red.

Define your own teleport area

When creating your content, keep in mind that the colliders you add (other than IsTrigger colliders) will block the teleport ray.

By default, in VIROO Applications you can teleport at the user's ground level, but this behavior can be overridden if you want to define your own teleport zone. To do this, add colliders to the elements in your Unity scene that can be teleported to and change the Layer to Physics_Floor.

Teleport Points

There is also the possibility to define points in your Unity scene that you want users to teleport to. You can add these teleport points to your Unity scene and users will see them within the VIROO menu in the Teleport section, with a label indicating which point is which.

To add a Teleport Point, place a GameObject in the environment that represents the position of a point of interest, and add the TeleportPoint component to it.

This component contains the following fields:

TeleportPoint
Field	Description
Index	Enter an integer to set the order in which they appear in the menu.
Identifier	Must be a unique identifier for this Teleport Point.
Label	The text label that will appear in the Teleport Points menu for this item.
Selectable From Menu	Whether this item appears in the menu or not.
Apply Rotation	If set, it will also set the rotation of the users in addition to the position.
