== Overview ==
''This page details the VR Supported Mode of [[Starship Simulator]].''


This tutorial covers the fundamental ways you, as a crew member or [[Passengers|passenger]], [[Interaction|interact]] with the environment, objects, and interfaces in [[Starship Simulator]]. Mastering these basics is essential for operating ship systems and navigating the detailed world of the ship.
'''VR Support Mode''' refers to an updated public demonstration version of [[Starship Simulator]] developed by [[Fleetyard Studios]]. It represents a significant update in gameplay for the game, giving players the ability to play in '''Full Room Scale VR'''. This provides a new perspective of the game's world and allows players to experience it in a completely immersive way.


For a full list of keybinds, always refer to the main [[Controls]] page.
==Release and Availability==
The VR support mode for '''Starship Simulator''' is planned to be released as part of the [[Tech Demo 4]] update.


Interaction is primarily handled via two inputs:
==Content and Features==
* '''Action Key''' (Default: <code>LMB</code>) – Direct interaction with UI and objects.
The release gives players the ability to play the game in '''Full Room Scale VR'''.
* '''Radial Menu Key''' (Default: <code>F</code>) – Context-specific commands and NPC interaction.

==Supported VR Headsets==


The '''Action Key''' allows you to interact with UI panels, pick up objects, and select menu items. These actions are context-sensitive.

=== How To Use ===
===Unsupported VR Headsets===


There are two primary methods for using the action key:
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:left"
 
! style="width: 15%;" | Manufacturer
; Method 1: Using the HUD Crosshair (''Direct interaction'')
! style="width: 15%;" | Model
# Position yourself in front of the console, [[Props|Object]], or UI element.
! style="width: 15%;" | Compatibility
# Align the [[Tutorial:Using_the_HUD|HUD Crosshair/Reticle]] with your target.
! Notes
# Press the '''Action Key''' (<code>LMB</code>) to activate.
|-
 
| '''Sony'''
; Method 2: Unlocking the Mouse Cursor (''Precise interaction'')
| PlayStation VR2
# Position yourself in front of the target interface.
| Not Compatible
# '''Press and hold''' the '''Mouse Cursor Unlock key''' (Default: <code>E</code>). This displays a free-moving cursor.
| Requires PS5 hardware which is not currently supported for this build.
# While holding <code>E</code>, move the cursor over the desired button, slider, or text field.
|}
# Click the '''Action Key''' (<code>LMB</code>) to interact.
# Release <code>E</code> to return to standard movement mode.
 
  Note: The '''Zoom Key''' (Default: <code>RMB</code>) can be held before unlocking the cursor to lock your view onto a screen for easier interaction.
 
=== Context Awareness ===
The Action Key adapts to the situation. For example, using the Action Key on an empty [[Bridge]] chair will cause you to sit. However, if the chair is occupied by an NPC, the Action Key will instead open the Radial Menu to allow for interaction with that character.
 
== Radial Menu Key ==


The '''Radial Menu Key''' allows for complex interactions with NPCs and [[Props|Objects]] through a circular interface. Options are generated dynamically based on what you are looking at.
===Support Notes===


=== How To Use ===
* **AyJayAreDii VR Systems:** Currently not available in stereo vision mode.
* '''Opening the menu:''' Press the '''Radial Menu Key''' (Default: <code>F</code>) at any time.
* **Dan's VR Visor V3:** Testing to be performed in 2027 Q1 following the initial launch phase.
* '''Selecting an option:''' Hover over the desired slice and press the '''Action Key''' (<code>LMB</code>).
* '''Closing the menu:''' Press the '''Radial Menu Key''' again, or click the '''Cancel''' icon in the center.

=== Context Factors ===
[[Category:Game Versions]]
The Radial Menu options change based on:
[[Category:Development]]
* '''Focused Object:''' Looking at a specific station (like Sensors) provides station-specific commands.
* '''Rank/Department:''' Certain commands are restricted to specific roles or senior officers.
* '''Location:''' Options differ depending on whether you are on the bridge, in a shuttle, or on a planetary surface.
 
== Summary ==
By combining the '''Action Key''' for tactile interactions and the '''Radial Menu''' for complex commands, you can effectively operate every system aboard the ship. For advanced guides on specific consoles, please see the [[Tutorials]] category.
