🚧 Under Construction: This guide is still far from complete. We will improve it in the future.
Navigation: There are several ways for interacting with the scene. Currently mouse, keyboard and space navigator are supported. More input devices can be added via VRPN. The mouse navigation is still in development - while it is already quite useful, the user experience may be improved.

which will toggle full-screen mode.
W

User Interface: When you start CosmoScout VR, you will see several user interface elements. The top bar shows information regarding your current camera position, the position of the mouse pointer on the planets surface and the current simulation time (UTC). In addition, there are some buttons controlling the simulation time.
On the left hand side is the main menu. Here you can select which data sets are shown, manipulate the surface visualization, add annotations, fly to pre-defined locations and perform various other tasks.
