Panel Menu Item Controller

Overview

Purpose: panel item controller class that intercepts the controller events sent from a [PanelMenuController] and passes them onto additional custom event subscriber scripts, which then carry out the required custom UI actions.

This script should be attached to a VRTK_InteractableObject > [PanelMenuController] > [panel items container] > child GameObject (See the [PanelMenuController] class for more details on setup structure.).
To show / hide a UI panel, you must first pick up the VRTK_InteractableObject and then by pressing the touchpad top/bottom/left/right you can open/close the child UI panel that has been assigned via the Unity Editor panel.
