Basic Navigation
You can navigate around a virtual scene using the menu bar, toolbar, navigation panel,
mouse, and keyboard. The vrbounce example illustrates the several key features of the
viewer.
Navigation Panel — The center navigation wheel and two curved buttons on either side
allow you to move about in the scene. Experiment by moving backward and forward and
side to side until you become comfortable with the controls.
Navigation view — You can change the camera position. From the menu bar, select the
Navigation menu Straighten Up option. Alternatively, from the toolbar, you can click
the Straighten Up control, or on the keyboard, you can press F9. This option resets the
camera so that it points straight ahead.
