Abstract
A method is performed at a virtual-reality system that includes a head-mounted display (HMD) and a hand-held controller. The hand-held controller includes a grip, a user-input surface, and a tracking ring. the user-input surface includes a user-input key that is mounted on the grip, and the user input key includes an analog pressure sensor. The tracking ring is coupled to the user-input surface and the tracking ring includes a plurality of illumination sources on an outer surface of the tracking ring. The method displays an image of a hand on the HMD, and senses pressure applied to the analog pressure sensor by a user holding the hand-held controller and wearing the HMD. The method displays, on the HMD, the degree of closing the image of the hand in proportion to the pressure applied to the analog pressure sensor.
