Object Inspection System
A downloadable asset pack for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
🔍 Object Inspection System
Object Inspection System is a lightweight first-person item inspection package for Unity. It allows players to aim at an object, pick it up with the left mouse button, rotate it, zoom in and out, and read a custom title and description.
The system is designed for games where players need to examine props, clues, story items, puzzle objects, documents, tools, or inventory items up close.
Add close-up object examination, item rotation, zoom, descriptions, and first-person pickup interaction to your Unity project with a simple ready-to-use system.

🖱️ First-Person Pickup
The player can aim at inspectable objects from the center of the screen and pick them up using the left mouse button.
By default, the system does not require an E-key pickup interaction. The workflow is fast and direct for first-person gameplay.
Pickup Features

- Left mouse button pickup
- No E-key pickup by default
- Configurable pickup distance
- Collider-based interaction
- Layer mask filtering
🔎 Inspection Mode
After picking up an object, the player enters inspection mode.
The object is positioned in front of the camera and can be rotated, zoomed, examined, and closed using simple controls.
Inspection Controls
-
Mouse Drag
Rotate the object while inspecting. -
Mouse Wheel
Zoom in and out. -
Right Mouse Button
Close inspection mode. -
Esc
Close inspection mode.
📄 Item Title & Description
Every inspectable object can have its own display name and description.
This makes the system useful for clues, documents, story props, collectibles, inventory previews, quest objects, and puzzle items.
Per-Object Data
- Display name
- Description text
