Creating Ray-castable UIs

1. In the Hierarchy panel, add a Canvas by right-clicking and selecting UI > Canvas. The canvas appears in the Hierarchy.
2. In the Hierarchy, select the Canvas. In the Inspector, under Rect Transform, set the following settings to position the Canvas where it can be easily interacted with and scales it to a manageable size:
   • Canvas > Render Mode: World Space
   • Rect Transform > PosX: 0
   • Rect Transform > PosY: 1.15
   • Rect Transform > PosZ: 1.5
   • Rect Transform > Width: 480
   • Rect Transform > Height: 720
   • Rect Transform > Scale: [0.0005, 0.0005, 0.0005]
3. Add a panel to the Canvas by right-clicking on the Canvas in the Hierarchy and selecting UI > Panel. The panel appears in the Hierarchy.
4. Add some UI elements to the panel to interact with. For example, right-click on the Panel in the Hierarchy and select UI > Button - TextMeshPro. The button element appears on the Panel. Add as many elements as you desire to create your UI.
   

1. Right-click on the Canvas, and select Interaction SDK > Add Ray Interaction to Canvas. The Ray wizard appears.
   
2. In the Ray Canvas wizard, you may see a message about a missing PointableCanvasModule. Select Fix. This will add the missing PointableCanvasModule.
   
3. If you want to further customize the interaction, adjust the interaction’s settings in the wizard. For details on the available options, please see the Ray Canvas Quick Action documentation.
4. Select Create. The wizard automatically adds the required components for the interaction to the Canvas. It also adds components to the camera rig if those components weren’t already there.
