Getting Events

You can update the Fologram Get components in your grasshopper definition whenever a supported event is detected by your connected mixed reality device. Each Get component will automatically assign commonly used event patterns which can be further customized using the Event Type value list component. This allows users to control when gestures, sensor and environmental input from mixed reality devices is fetched in grasshopper.

Event Types

Fologram’s Get components support a number of event types.
⚠️
Note that the event trigger does not connect to an input parameter and instead defines a parametric relationship to the entire component.
