Interactive touchscreen system for avatars

[Kev]

So I've seen some people making some cool smartphones and similar things using the avatar dynamics stuff and it made me think, what if we just had an interactive touch screen type system to build these kinds of devices with?

The way things are going with VR development, controllers will probably eventually loose out to really good hand tracking or gloves, and having a more natural way of interacting with things would be cool, and this could even extend into communication (msg/voice/video between avatars) or even minigames on devices.

Think of it like video screens for worlds, except touchscreen, you'd be able to just drop the screen object onto a model of a phone or a tablet or something, then from there there'd be a basic framework, kind of like a mini android/ios UI that we could build things onto using u# etc, it'd have a default menu and default home/back buttons, if it was built into the VRC system itself, it could hook into all of the menus and basically replace the radial menu, have friends lists displayed, worlds lists, avatars, toggles etc, but then like i said above, you could link the camera system in and basically build a VRC phone system and be able to direct video call other avatars, they'd be able to pull out any device built on the framework with the basic features added and answer a call just like you would IRL, some of these features could even be VRC+ locked for more incentive to subscribe.

It could open up a ton of things for world builders too, instead of in game compasses or maps, you could build a small google maps type system for your world that can pull the location of the player and overlay it on a grid over an image, you could possibly link it into worlds enough that objects could be toggled/spawned etc from the system.

It'd be great for a whole bunch of different things and i could definitely keep going, but i think this is long enough lol.
