With today update the main controller will have two modes: dual hands and one hand.
Switching between modes is done by pressing/clicking on <thumbstik> button from main controller.



Based on the users requests for a ‘one hand’ (one VR controller use) playback control especially for VR videos (180, 360 or fisheye), the requested mandatory playback features control and mapping on only one controller converge as following:

• volume +/-
  
• play/pause
  
• seek forward/backward 15 sec
  
• next/previous media file
  
• tilt flat screen
  
• rotate up/down a VR video view
  
• ¼ fps playback slow motion and reset to 1x
  
• zoom in/out for VR videos
  
• screen size for flat videos
  
• repose video screen (used when laying on bed)
  
• reset video screen position

Features control required by design (can't be removed or changed) on main controller:

• recenter HMD (to be available when VHT start)
  
• repose GUI
  
• mouse click simulation
  
• controller mode switch (added with v1.14.1 update)

VHT will start in dual hands mode.

A standard layout VR controller is limited to 4 control inputs: <thumbstick> up/down, <thumbstick> left/right, <A/Y> and <B/X>.

Like before this update, the following VR controller buttons are reserved/used for:

• <trigger> used for: mouse click simulation, changing the controllers role (left or right handed), cinema mode on/off
  
• <grab> used to extend the possible controls inputs from 4 to 8
  
• <thumbstick> press/click (added with v1.14.1 update) to change the main controller mode (to extend even further the possible controls inputs for one VR controller from 8 to 16)
