- If clicked at the exact same time, then the preferred hand (default is right hand) will get precedence.
- If no controller is present, gestures are not activated, and the issue is not the result of low, or no, battery power on the controller, then a notification appears guiding the user to pair controllers to the headset.
- To confirm pairing, the user should press a button combination (Right Controller – Press 'A' or Trigger twice. Left Controller – Press 'X' or Trigger twice)
- Auto detect controller when in camera view
- If the controllers are inactive for more than 30 seconds but still in view:
- The Raycast/pointer graphic and controller icon would fade out.
- Any button click can wake up/activate the controllers which will disable gestures interaction if it was activated.
- The controllers’ battery levels are displayed in the Dock.
