Wand Controls
Previous  Top  Next


The wand is controlled using the mouse. Moving the mouse while holding down an appropriate key will move or rotate the wand. As with the head, the wand is restricted to stay inside the CAVE's physical boundaries. When the user's head is moved, the wand is moved with it. If more than one wand is being simulated (using the "SimulatorNumWands" configuration option), only one wand at a time may be controlled; the wand to control is selected using the F keys (i.e. F1, F2, etc.). The wand movement controls are:

Move wand left/right/forward/back    CTRL + mouse movement    

Move wand left/right/up/down    SHIFT + mouse movement    

Rotate wand left/right/up/down    ALT + mouse movement    

Roll wand (rotate about Z)    < & >    

Select wand 1/2/3/ as the current wand being controlled    F1/F2/F3/
