Unity 3d simulator for gaze tracking for Brain hackathon

WheelchairSimulator

This is a lightweight unity game. The player continuously moves forward, a variable direction is modified to steer the player left or right. This simulator is intended to test out how steering with gaze would feel like in a first-person view.

There are currently 2 ways that control the player's steering (changes the player's direction).

1. KeyboardInputController (move with left and right key). This is attached to the GameManager obj, it is currently disabled. For debug/fun use only.
2. ConnectionsHandler and PlayerController (a UDP Listener class attached to the GameManager obj) listens to UDP messages. There is an obj called UDPSenderTesterObj with a UDPSenderTester.cs script attached, which continuously broadcasts a float direction variable through UDP. You can change the direction variable in runtime to test out how it changes the direction of the movement.

These 3 component

For the direction variable, -45 means turning 45 degrees left, 0 goes straight, +45 turns 45 degrees towards right per second. If you can get your own gazetracking code to send a float value that represents direction over via UDP to port 8051, you should be able to control the player's steering via gaze.
