Setting Up the SenseGlove Default Classes

Setting up the default SenseGlove classes is recommended if you want to take full advantage of the quality-of-life features provided by the SenseGlove Unreal Engine Plugin. These features are designed to streamline the development process within the Unreal Engine environment. For instance, if you need a quick setup with a virtual hand mesh already integrated into a pawn, enabling you to get started with your project in just a few minutes, it is essential to configure the default classes and familiarize yourself with these classes.

If you wish to extend the functionality of these classes, you can do so by subclassing them. The default SenseGlove classes, which are prefixed with SG, include:

• SGGameModeBase
• SGPawn
• SGPlayerController
• SGGameInstance
• SGGameUserSettings

However, if you prefer a different approach or do not require the functionality provided by the default SenseGlove classes, you can opt to utilize individual components like SGVirtualHandComponent, SGWristTrackerComponent, etc., directly within your own actors. Alternatively, you can develop a completely custom system from scratch, leveraging the low-level SenseGlove C++ or Blueprint APIs.

Additionally, you can enforce setting the default SenseGlove classes during initialization via the plugin settings, if desired.
