Starting VR
Click in the window that says: Press F5. Press the F5 function-key and you can then don the HMD (headset) and you will be in a 3D space. The F5 window will disappear.
If the window does not disappear and mouse cursor shows a spinning circle, something has gone wrong and you will need to shutdown both Monkey and STEAMVR and restart Monkey.
Pick up the controllers in both hands.
The left-hand controller is the one with a sideways wrist menu containing 5 items.
Moving your viewpoint
Use the left-hand controller trackpad to move (fly) forward, back or left/right. You fly in the direction where you are looking.
Selecting stuff
The right-hand controller ray selects stuff or triggers actions like the buttons on the wrist menu. Use the trigger to select an item. PLAY is the normal, default mode. The other modes enable you to make changes.
Controls on a controller
This diagram is for the HTC Vive controllers. The HP Reverb and the ACER WMR controllers are similar. The HP Reverb controllers do not have a touchpad -- use the joystick instead.
Moving objects
You can pick items up and move them by pointing the ray at the item with the right-hand controller and holding the controller trigger to select it. (you have to be in PLAY mode or 4-arrows mode to move objects - the menu icons are green when they are activated.)
Here, the PROPERTIES mode within EDIT mode is active
Next: Properties
