Tango 4 Unreal Plug-In

The Tango 4 Unreal Plug-In enables the use of Project Tango tablet devices sensors within Unreal 4 Android deployments.

Getting Started

• Create a "Plugins" folder inside you Unreal 4 project, if it doesn't already exist.
• Clone this repository into the Plugins folder:
• git clone https://github.com/opaquemultimedia/Tango4Unreal.git
• Alternatively, if your project is already a git repository:
• git submodule add https://github.com/opaquemultimedia/Tango4Unreal.git
• Refer to the Git Book for more information about git submodules
• Go to your plug-in settings, browse the to "Google" category, enable the plug-in, then restart the Unreal Editor.

Using the plug-in

Currently, the most stable implementation is the "Tango Motion" component. This retrieves the device's positional tracking data and presents functions to access it.

In a new blueprint pawn

• Add a "Tango Motion" component to the pawn.

Then in the default variables list of the component:

• Under the Tango|Motion category, change:
• "Position Offset" to: X 0.0 | Y 0.0 | Z 175.0

In the Event Graph:

• Place a reference to the component in.
• From the component reference, add a "Set Is Sending Motion to Pawn" function node, check the boolean to true.
• Connect an execution link from the BeginPlay event to the function.

Back in your level:

• Setup the pawn to be the default pawn spawned for the level's game mode, then launch the project on your device.
• Have fun!
