## 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:** Two game-controller-style pads appear at the bottom of your screen — left pad for movement, right pad for looking around
* 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
* The training author has locked the height to ensure consistency
* 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

**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

## Tips

* **Adjust as needed:** Your preferences may change as you work through training — it's okay to toggle settings during training
