Rift Navigation

Here are the basics of getting around in Rift.

Whenever you put on your Rift headset, you're entering VR (virtual reality). How to get around

in VR:

1. To change what you can see, just move your head.

Your field of view instantly follows wherever you're looking in the current environment.

2. In Oculus Home, as well as in many games and apps, you'll see a pointer in the centre of your

field of view to help you select items more precisely.

3. To select an item, look at it, then press the select button on the Oculus remote or the A

button on the Xbox controller.
