Using the VR Wrist Menu
The Wrist Menu is your quick-access toolkit while operating inside the PrecisionOS virtual reality environment. Opening it reveals a white sub-menu panel just below your eyeline, packed with features to enhance your simulation, control your movement, and capture your progress.
How to Open the Menu:
Look at the palmar (inside) surface of your left wrist in VR and press the menu button using your right hand.
Important Note on App Compatibility:
The tools available on your Wrist Menu will change depending on which application you are currently in. If you open the menu and do not see a specific feature listed below, that application is likely an older version that does not yet support that functionality.
Features in FractureLab:
FractureLab is our most feature-rich application. When you open the Wrist Menu here, you will see a variety of tools arranged across the panel:

- VR Projector: Load documents directly into the virtual OR. You can project PDFs, PowerPoints, and videos to reference while you work.
- Video Recording: Click the Hollywood-style "clapperboard" icon to record your exact perspective in VR. The system will give you a countdown before recording begins. Once finished, end the recording to have the video processed and a shareable link emailed directly to you.
- Passthrough Mode: Toggle this to tear down the walls of the virtual operating room and view your real-world surroundings through the headset's cameras, while keeping your virtual surgical tools active.
- Height Adjust: Instantly recalibrate your virtual height. This is especially useful if you prefer to use the simulator in "Seated Mode," allowing you to maintain a standing virtual height while sitting in a real chair.
- Free Flight Mode: Toggle this to fly through the virtual OR using your headset's gaze and your left controller's thumbstick.
- Push Forward: Fly exactly where you are looking.
- Left/Right: Move side-to-side.
- Pull Back: Fly backward. (For example, if you look down at the floor and pull back on the thumbstick, you will fly straight up toward the ceiling).
- ⚠️ Safety Warning: Free Flight movement can cause sudden disorientation or motion sickness. To prevent injury, please ensure you are seated before enabling this mode.
- Tutorials: Access helpful guides and tips walking you through the controls and available actions within the virtual OR.
Features in BodyWorks:
The Body Works anatomy application features a slightly different Wrist Menu. It retains the VR Projector, Video Recording, and Tutorials buttons, but introduces a powerful new tool:
Delphi AI Assistant:
Located on the far left of the menu, this button activates our conversational AI. Delphi can answer your anatomical questions and directly control the VR experience. You can verbally ask Delphi to:
- Hide, remove, or isolate specific layers of anatomy.
- Highlight specific anatomical structures.
- Walk you through detailed surgical approaches.
- Ask it to generate a quiz or exam questions.
- Jump into different anatomical focus levels.
Managing Delphi AI:
You can turn the AI on at any time by pressing its button on the Wrist Menu. If you are finished with the assistant, you can turn it off manually by tapping the button again, or simply say, "Delphi, please leave," and it will turn itself off.
