Use the OpenXR tab for setting controller bindings for devices using OpenXR.

Note that setting the controller bindings in VRED will only suggest these mappings to the active OpenXR runtime. The runtime can still decide to ignore these suggestions. In this case, you need to configure the mapping in the corresponding runtime. See Managing Controller Bindings for SteamVR.

In the Menu Bar, click Edit > Preferences, then on the left side of the dialog box, select Extended Reality > OpenXR. After making any changes, press Apply and Save to save them.

• Controller Type - Set the type of controller used. Choose from: HTC Vive, HTC Vive Cosmos, HTC Vive Focus 3, Oculus Touch, Microsoft MR Motion, and HP MR.

• Left = Right - Set controller mapping as the same for both left and right controllers, when enabled. When disabled, the left and right controllers can have different bindings for a controller method and action.

Now, for each action, select its controller binding from the dropdown menu next to the action. When finished, press Apply.

• Place Snap - Set the controller input used for activating the snap function of the place tool.

• Pointer Execute - Set the controller input used for using the pointer.

• Pointer Ray Pose - Set the controller input used for positioning the pointer ray.

• Pointer Show - Set the controller input used for displaying the pointer ray.

• Teleport Show - Set the controller input used for displaying the teleport ray.

Configuring a Controller

To customize the configuration of your controller buttons, do the following:

1. In Edit > Preferences > Extended Reality > OpenXR, select your controller from the Controller Type drop-down menu.

2. If you want each controller to have different bindings, enable the Left = Right checkbox; otherwise, ensure it is disabled.

3. Open the drop-down menu next to each action and select an option.

   Tip:

   Actions can be disabled, so they are not accessing. For instructions, see Disabling an Action. Controller buttons can also be disabled. For instructions, see Disabling a Controller Button.

4. When finished, press Apply and Save.

Setting Independent Controllers

It is possible to set the left and right controllers independent of one another when customizing your controller bindings.

1. To do this, in Edit > Preferences > Extended Reality > OpenXR, select your controller from the Controller Type drop-down menu.
2. Enable the Left = Right checkbox.
3. When finished, press Apply and Save.

Resetting Controller Bindings

To reset all controller bindings to their default values, in Edit > Preferences > Extended Reality > OpenXR, with your controller selected, press Set To Default.

To disable an action, so it is not accessible in a session, do the following:
