[/*] [*][b]Vive Movement/Gesture Changes[/b] [list][*]The HTC Vive Wands now have a new movement system that allow you to walk and hold gestures while moving[/*] [*]Select your gestures as normal, however they will only hold as long as you hold your thumb on the touchpad. Center will give you the “closed hand” gesture.[/*] [*]Pulling and holding Trigger will “save” that gesture to the trigger, allowing you to move while gesturing.[/*] [*]Finally, you don’t need to hold down the touchpad button to move! Just tap it once to start moving, and tap it again to stop (or just lift your thumb from the pad)[/*] [*]Any motion input, movement, turn or jump, requires you to release the pad and touch it again to trigger gestures. There is a slight delay the first time you touch the pad to give you time to click it for motion, to avoid accidentally triggering a gesture.[/*][/list][/*] [*][b]Keyboard Gesture Overrides[/b] [list][*]You can now trigger gestures with keyboard![/*] [*]Hold down Left Shift and F1-F8 for left hand gestures.[/*] [*]Hold down Right Shift and F1-F8 for right hand gestures.[/*] [*]F1=open fist (relaxed), F2=closed fist[/*] [*]F3-F8 are: LetGo, Point, Peace, RocknRoll, Gun, Thumbup[/*] [*]Your arm is not animated by default, so these are mainly useful for animation overrides.[/*][/list][/*] [*][b]General Gesture Changes[/b] [list][*]There is no longer an “Empty” gesture, this is the Fist at full open.
