Controls
You can navigate within an open visualisation using a keyboard, mouse, spacemouse, and Gamepad controllers or, if using a Head Mounted Display (HMD), by using the HMD controllers. Clicking on the help icon will bring up a dialogue box that displays all navigation modes and their respective controls.
