These two scripts allow for touch-screen pinching and double-tapping to move forward and backward between different cameras that are focused on different Hotspots - behaviour popularised by The Room series of mobile games.

  1. Set the "Movement method" to "None"
  2. Create a new Tag named CameraHotspot
  3. For any Hotspot you want to be able to focus on with its own camera, create either a SimpleCamera or Advanced Third Person Camera (available from AC's Downloads page), and attach the Camera Zoom component to it.
  4. In this Camera Zoom component, assign the Hotspot it is intended for, as well as (optionally) a camera to switch to if when pinching out in the "Exit Camera" field.
  5. Create an ActionList asset named "SwitchCamera", and define a GameObject parameter named "New camera".
  6. In the ActionList, create a "Camera: Switch" Action with a 2s transition, and override the "New camera" field with the parameter.
  7. Add the GestureHotspot component to either a scene object, or a spawned prefab e.g. a custom EventSystem assigned in the Menu Manager
  8. In this component, assign "SwitchCamera" as the "Switch Camera Action List", and tweak the other fields to suit

You should now be able to double-click / double-tap Hotspots to transition to their associated camera, as well as screen-pinch / scroll the middle-mouse button to transition back and forth.
