Stylus Controls
Below are user facing descriptions of the stylus buttons and analog inputs. They will be referenced throughout this guide as well as in the design guidelines and code examples.
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Pressure Button | The pressure sensitive button allows for input that can report a value in the range 0-1. As an example, this input can be used for creating variable line widths in the air based on the pressure applied to the button, or pressing to select UI elements. |
| Tip | The analog Tip allows for the creation of lines on physical surfaces. While virtual and physical surfaces are aligned, this can be used to recreate a drawing surface on a desk or a whiteboard. |
| Grab Button | The Grab Button allows users to intuitively grab virtual objects. When used in conjunction with a Touch Controller Grip button in the non-dominant hand, it allows the user to scale and rotate objects. |
| Options Button | The Options Button is a simple digital button, and can be used for tertiary controls like opening a menu. |
| Meta Button | This equivalent to the Meta button on the Meta Touch controller, i.e., press to show system menu, long press to recenter. Press-and-hold this button for 5 seconds to power off the stylus. Press-and-hold for 3 seconds to power on the stylus. |
