Minimal Navigation

This capability uses the grip of both controllers to navigate the 3D scene.

Air Grab

This capability is equivalent to a translation inside the 3D scene.

Press the grip of the secondary controller.



While holding the grip, you can move the body as if you were holding a handle on the scene. Thus, you can translate the body in the 3D space in the direction in which you dragged it.



You can release the grip to exit the Air Grab mode.

Rotation

This capability lets you rotate the viewpoint around the Z axis to make sure you are always parallel to the ground.

Press the grip of both controllers to rotate in the 3D scene.
