Explore in Desktop Mode needs update #99
Comments
Just a rename or something else? |
A lot of new shortcuts are missing. Also at least some functions need a description. |
Second link is dead. |
Updated |
Yeah... Why is this called "Explore"? |
The available controls do depend on which mapping is loaded. For example, standard_navigation or standard_nomovement. That might be worth mentioning. Also note that some controls are added by scripts, like pressing escape to toggle Away status. They aren't all defined in one place. The intro/tutorial world new users are eventually connected to has a sign that shows the controls-- that should probably also be updated to match the docs once the docs are complete. It might even be worth having that sign dynamically identify mappings for the user's current input device(s). |
I think it's worth considering whether "Desktop Mode" should actually be introduced to users as a mode. There is no logical reason why nobody wearing a V.R. headset would ever want to use a keyboard and mouse, or nobody using a desktop monitor would ever want to use V.R. controllers. I know there are some differences in the code depending on whether a headset is detected, so it is reasonable to call it a mode in the technical sense, but I assume there aren't many differences in the actual U.X. aside from the I/O configuration settings in the U.I. and the fact that some settings might or might not be applied (which should be obvious). Using different hardware seems more like using a different platform than a different application mode. The web page detailing the V.R. controls isn't titled "V.R. Mode". |
Explore in Desktop Mode could use an update, so it can be linked in the Create App vircadia/vircadia-native-core#880
https://docs.vircadia.com/explore/get-started/desktop.html#create-and-edit-mode
I suggest renaming
Explore in Desktop Mode
toControls in Desktop Mode
as it only contains controls and it makes the keyboard shortcuts a little easier to find.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
