I am developing a 3D interactive mobile Game in Unity3d and am trying to implement a first person camera controller. I have done much research into first person camera controllers, but I can't seem to find the ideal set up.

I am trying to develop a first person camera controller that can be used on touch devices. The inputs from the user would have to come from the user swiping, pinching etc rather than using a UI joystick. I have seen first person camera controllers that make use of UI joysticks but this isn't what I am looking for.

- First person camera controller

- touch device friendly

- responds to gestures from user such as swiping and pinching.

I am unsure what to do right now???

Have you seen any applications that implement the kind of interface you have in mind, even in part? Or are you more or less trying to come up with something new from scratch?

Also, if you haven't already you might check the Unity asset store. I tried searching there for 'first person touch', and a few things came up. They might not have what you're looking for of course, but it might at least be worth checking.

I have looked on the asset store and there are a few options, it's just I don't feel as if I have reassurance that any of them match my needs. As a result I am left wondering what is the best thing to do. I am going to look into applications that have the type of inputs I am looking for.

Hi, its been a while since this topic has been updated. I have spent some time trying to find applications with the type of interface I am looking for. There is an app called Dissassembly 3D. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kch.Disassembly3D&hl=en_GB. The interactions on this application are exactly what I am trying to implement.
