Once you sit down, the device will detect it and enter the seat mode as indicated by a short haptic vibration and lock the walking function.
Walking/Sitting switch The module automatically retracts when you stand
up. The sensor will automatically detect your posture and enter the walking
mode with haptic feedback (Depending on the body height and the length of
legs, some users may need to support the module retraction manually).

Vehicle Hub mode
The Vehicle Hub fixes the problem of unnatural body postures in which we
usually experience vehicles in VR games.
What’s more, you can open the Vehicle Hub anytime you want to drive a virtual
vehicle for a long trip or any other occasions, even when there is no vehicle
in VR. The vehicle Hub is off by default. Long-press the module button for 1s
to turn on and off as indicated by a short haptic vibration. You can also open
the Vehicle Hub mode by click “ON” in Gateway or Gateway in VR.
Once the Vehicle Hub is enabled, by default it will enter the the ‘AUTO’
vehicle mode in idle state.
IDLE:
Under IDLE, the haptic system will simulate the vibrations of an ignited car
engine awaiting for the beginning of driving.
How To switch “IDLE/MOVING”: You can begin or stop driving by click
“IDLE/MOVING” in Gateway or Gateway in VR. (Coming soon)
You can also do it with the right shoe sensor.
How To Drive/Ride: To begin driving, touch the ground what your right
foot and slide it back. The virtual vehicle will start driving forward, and
the haptic feedback will change to simulate vibration of a car in motion as
well as randomized road events (to help you imagine a more natural driving
environment where your car encounters small obstacles or drives on rough
road).
You can control the direction by turning around. The in-game vehicle will
follow your body direction.
How To Stop: To stop, slide your right foot forward. You can also stand up and stop driving/riding anytime you want to switch back to the waling mode.
