Description of hand controls

Hand controllers allow you to easily navigate the world of VR. Each controller has buttons, levers and sensors that sense your movements and give you full control over your VR experience.

Trigger button: The trigger button is located on the bottom of each controller. It is used to interact with objects, select, shoot or press buttons in the virtual environment. It is very important for interactions in the VR world.

Grab button: This button is located on the side of the controller, where you naturally hold your hand. You use the grab button to grab or hold onto objects.
