In-Sim Tablet Controls

Overview

Note: requires 3.x software.  See Versions.  Available starting in v3.x software.

The In-Sim Tablet makes it easy to do common actions while keeping the HMD (helmet) on. The Tablet is a moveable, dockable control ‘tablet’ that lets the User access project controls and performance feedback while staying immersed in the training environment.

Positioning

By default, the Tablet will follow and reposition based on the User’s position. The Tablet will typically be found docked on the closest of the four walls of the tracking environment. Note that the User will normally need to turn around to see the Tablet.  Also note that if you do not see the Tablet, then move closer to one of the walls until the Tablet appears.

To reposition the Tablet in a fixed location, aim the Gun over the left or right side of the Tablet, the virtual Gun will change to a hand, pull and hold the Gun trigger to grab the Tablet, move the Gun to reposition the Tablet, and release the Gun trigger to let go of the Tablet.

To redock the Tablet to the side walls, point the Gun at any of the ‘Return’ boxes located on the walls.
