Participants are the virtual embodiments of human participants in the Experience. They control how human participants wearing the Extended Reality (XR) headset view, interact with and move through the environment. Essentially, they function as the participant's avatar in the XR world.

Interactors are what the Participant uses to interact with items in the environment. There are three types of Interactors for the Participant’s hands, which are set individually for each hand. This enables you to create a Participant with different interaction methods for their left and right hands (e.g., grabbing with the right hand and poking with the left).

The screenshot below showcases the User Interface for customizing Interactors. You can see the Interactors are split between the right and left hand.

Use the tabs below to learn more about each Interactor type!

Ray Interactor

Ray Interactors allow the Participant to interact within the Epoch using a ray (i.e., a laser-like straight line) that emits from their hands or controllers.
