The Tablet is the central interaction hub within skyreal's functionalities. It allows users to launch or edit any feature, or interact with 3D elements directly inside the VR environment. The tablet by default is attached to user's hand, but is possible also to make it float in front of the user and can be summoned or dismissed as needed.

 

The interface is divided into a user's watch, a toolbar, and some feature-specific panels qith quick access buttons. All interactions are performed using VR controllers.
