Settings

The Settings menu lets you customize your training experience by toggling features on and off, adjusting audio levels, and tuning how the 3D scene is rendered. Access it anytime during training.

​

Opening Settings

​

Controls Section

The Controls section has toggles to enable or disable on-screen features:

​

Virtual Joystick Toggle

What it does:

• Turns the on-screen movement controller on or off
• When ON: A game-controller-style pad appears at the bottom-left of your screen for movement. Looking around is still done by dragging with your mouse or a one-finger swipe.
• When OFF: No joystick visible — use keyboard (WASD) and mouse instead

When to enable:

• You’re on a touchscreen device
• You prefer game-controller-style movement
• You want an alternative to keyboard controls

When to disable:

• You prefer keyboard and mouse controls
• The joystick is in your way
• You’re on a desktop and don’t need it

​

Adjust Height Toggle

What it does:

• Turns the camera height +/− buttons on or off
• When ON: Buttons appear on the left side of the screen (below the share button) to raise/lower your viewpoint
• When OFF: No height buttons — your camera stays at the default level

When to enable:

• You need to see objects at different heights (above and below eye level)
• You want full control over your viewpoint
• The training allows height adjustment

When to disable:

• You prefer a fixed viewpoint
• You don’t need to adjust your view

​

Step Instruction Audio Toggle

What it does:

• Turns narration (spoken instructions) on or off
• When ON: You hear audio narration of step instructions
• When OFF: No audio — only read text instructions on panels
• This is the only setting that is remembered across sessions

When to enable:

• You prefer listening to audio instructions
• You’re in an environment where reading isn’t practical
• The training includes narration for accessibility

When to disable:

• You’re in a noisy environment and can’t hear well
• You prefer reading over listening
• You’re in a situation where audio would be distracting

​

Audio Section

​

Volume Slider

What it does:

• Controls the overall volume of all training audio
• Ranges from 0 (mute) to 100 (full volume)
• Affects narration, sound effects, videos, and any audio in the 3D scene

How to use it:

• Drag the slider left to decrease volume
• Drag the slider right to increase volume
• Test it with a small movement first
• Find a comfortable level that you can hear but isn’t overwhelming

Quick Mute:

• If you need instant silence, move the slider all the way to 0
• Move it back up when you’re ready to hear audio again

​

Rendering Section

The Rendering section lets you trade visual quality for performance. The defaults come from the scene itself, so you usually don’t need to touch these. Adjust them if the scene looks flat, runs slowly, or clips objects that are very close or very far away.

​

Ambient Occlusion Toggle

What it does:

• Adds soft shadowing where surfaces meet, giving objects more depth and realism
• When ON: Corners, crevices, and contact points are subtly darkened
• When OFF: Flatter lighting, but faster rendering

When to enable: The scene looks washed out and you want more visual depth. When to disable: The training is lagging or your device is struggling. This is the single biggest performance lever in Settings.

​

AO Quality

A dropdown with four levels: Low, Medium, High, and Ultra. Higher levels look smoother but cost more performance. Only takes effect when Ambient Occlusion is on.

​

AO Sliders

Three sliders fine-tune the ambient occlusion effect. Only take effect when Ambient Occlusion is on.

​

Near Clip and Far Clip

Two number fields that set the closest and farthest distances the camera will draw, in meters. Anything closer than Near Clip or farther than Far Clip is not rendered. The scene’s own values are shown beneath each field as “Scene default”. When to change them:

• Objects disappear or look cut off when you walk right up to them: lower Near Clip
• Distant parts of the scene are missing: raise Far Clip

Far Clip is always kept at least 1 meter beyond Near Clip.

​

Use Scene Defaults

A button that resets Near Clip and Far Clip to the values set by the training author. It does not change the Ambient Occlusion settings.

​

Troubleshooting

​

Tips

• Visit Settings early: Before you get deep into training, set up your preferences for comfort
• Experiment: Try different settings to see what works best for you
• Adjust as needed: Your preferences may change as you work through training — it’s okay to toggle settings during training
