Blueprint of event begin play connected to configure gestures function

Then you should add code to subscribe to the following events:

OpenXR

In OpenXR, gesture events are tracked through the input pipeline. Using hand interaction, the device can automatically recognize Tap and Hold gestures, but not the others. They are named as OpenXRMsftHandInteraction Select and Grip mappings. You don’t need to enable subscription, you should declare the events in Project Settings/Engine/Input, just like this:

You can find the Blueprint function in under Windows Mixed Reality Spatial Input, and the C++ function by adding WindowsMixedRealitySpatialInputFunctionLibrary.h in your calling code file.

Capture Gestures

Enum

Blueprint:

Gesture Type

C++:

enum class ESpatialInputAxisGestureType : uint8
{
	None = 0,
	Manipulation = 1,
	Navigation = 2,
	NavigationRails = 3
};

Function

You can enable and disable gesture capture with the CaptureGestures function. When an enabled gesture fires input events, the function returns true if gesture capture succeeded, and false if there’s an error.

Blueprint:

Capture Gestures BP

C++:

static bool UWindowsMixedRealitySpatialInputFunctionLibrary::CaptureGestures(
	bool Tap = false,
	bool Hold = false,
	ESpatialInputAxisGestureType AxisGesture = ESpatialInputAxisGestureType::None,
	bool NavigationAxisX = true,
	bool NavigationAxisY = true,
	bool NavigationAxisZ = true);

The following are key events, which you can find in Blueprints and C++:
