1356460 - Vive trigger touched flag is not set back to false

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: WebVR, defect)

Description

[Diego Marcos [:dmarcos]]

In some cases the Vive trigger touched boolean is not set back to false after release. The released trigger keeps returning small values (not zero) and the Gamepad API touched flag remains true.

Diego, could you help me try this controller demo, https://webvr.info/samples/XX-vr-controllers.html? I can not reproduce your problem on my HTC Vive. I can get touched `false` and zero value on trigger and buttons after I release them.

That was a problem that Kevin had. I believe his controller worn out and the trigger would not return to the original position completely after release. Those very small values were interpreted as the button being touched. I guess there's not capacitive sensor on the Vive trigger and we have to rely on those small values to enable / disable flag. Not sure what the solution is here. Kip suggested making the touch value threshold configurable via settings to at least give the user an option to work around the problem.
