VR controllers

Immersive input devices

VR controllers are handheld devices used to interact with virtual reality environments.

They track hand position and movement in three-dimensional space, translating physical gestures into actions within the virtual world.

Most feature buttons, triggers, and joysticks alongside motion sensing: The VR controllers let you grab objects and swing a sword naturally.
