Accessing the Hand Menu

The Hand Menu contains the main controls for accessing tools, settings, and feature menus.

With Controllers

Rotate either your left or right controller so that your palm is facing upward. The Hand Menu will automatically appear.

With Hand Tracking

If you're using hand tracking, rotate your hand until your palm faces upward to display the Hand Menu.

Using the World-Space Menu

The world-space menu can be re-positioned for easier access.

  1. Locate the interaction bar beneath the world-space menu.

  2. Hold the Grip button on your controller.

  3. Grab and move the menu to the desired position.

  4. Release the Grip button to place it.

Note: The menu is automatically pinned when you grab and release it.

Pinned vs Unpinned Menu

Pinned

When the menu is pinned:

  • It remains fixed in world space.

  • It always rotates to face you for easy viewing.

  • This is the default state after moving and releasing the menu.

Unpinned

When the menu is unpinned:

  • It follows your movement.

  • It stays below your line of sight.

  • It remains easily accessible for quick interactions without being intrusive.

Tip

Pin the menu when working from a fixed location, and unpin it when moving around larger environments to keep controls within easy reach.
