There are various controls in virtual reality (VR) for navigating the scene, selecting and manipulating Actors, and working with editor panels and windows.

Controller Interface

Red		The controller is in the standard interaction mode. This is the default state for the controller.
Orange		The controller is in selection mode, meaning it currently has an Actor selected.
Green		The controller is in movement mode, meaning it is being used to navigate the world.
Blue		The controller is in UI interaction mode, meaning it is being used to move the UI around.
