Plugin for using PSMove as input into Unreal Engine 4.
This plugin works in OS X and Windows 64-bit (I use 8.1 Pro).
Working features:
- Position and orientation of multiple controllers.
- Button presses trigger events.
- Trigger-button value (0-255)
- Set vibration (0-255)
Planned features:
- Use TThreadSafeSharedPtr
- Zeroing position and orientation
- Co-registration with HMD
Maybe someday features:
- Optional 320x240 @ 140 Hz positional tracking
- Hot-plugging
- Controlling LEDs
- Other camera types

Change to your project directory (must be a project with C++ code).
mkdir Plugins
cd Plugins
git clone https://github.com/cboulay/psmove-ue4.git
mv psmove-ue4 PSMovePlugin
In Windows command prompt, replace 'mv' with 'rename'.
Then refresh your code (in Windows, right click on .uproject; in Mac, use File>Refresh XCode Project from within editor) and build your project.
For example, from the default blank project:
- Open the editor.
- Move the player start to -100, 0, 0
- Move the floor to 0, 0, -100
- Create a cube
- Scale it to about 0.05, 0.2, 0.03
- Move the cube to 0, 0, 0
- Make the cube movable
- To the cube, add a PSMove component.
- At this point, you can specify the PSMove ID (controller number), or you can do it from Blueprints later.
- When the Cube is selected, click on the Blueprint/Add Script button.
- At this point, the camera will turn on and the controller will flash to set its brightness.
- Make sure the controller is on and in view of the camera. I find it works best from about 2 m away.
- Edit the blueprint as in the image below
- On the left of the blueprint editor, click on the PSMove component to select it.
- On the right of the blueprint editor, click on the + next to the event you want to use, e.g., On Data Updated event.
- Create a node for Set Actor Location and Rotation
- Connect the event Location to the Actor Location, and the event Rotation to the Actor Rotation. Also wire up the execution points.
- Compile, save, Play!
