Configuraions Window ​
Controller Pose ​
- Bind to current controllers：Select this option if you are using the handle as a glove position source.
- Use selected devices：Select this option if auto-binding fails or if Tracker is used as the glove position source.
Tuning ​
- The Tuning function can be used if you wish to adjust the hand tuning data more finely for different usage scenarios or if your device's tuning presets are not included in HIG GloveNG for the time being.
- The position of the glove is determined by six parameters. Taking Left hand as an example: the first line of parameters is used to adjust the Translation, the second line of parameters is used to adjust the Rotation.
- You can click on the value and then enter the number directly for fine adjustment, or you can use the Up & Down Keys to quickly adjust to a rough Transform.
Info
Lighthouse Mode is a historical artifact that was used to switch whether or not to recalculate the coordinate system, and will be removed in future releases.

- Proximity Optimization:
- Subject to Rule #1, minimize clearance between Hall Effect and Magnet modules
- Maximize proximity while preventing mechanical interference

Tip
HIG Glove doesn't force the Controllers or Trackers mounting orientation, the official recommended mounting method is used in conjunction with the HIG GloveNG built-in Tuning presets.If there are special needs, you can also adjust the mounting direction of the position source to suit the situation and use the Tuning function to calibrate the HIG Glove's positioning coordinates.
