Tools are virtual objects used to manipulate the environment. They require input signals to trigger their actions and are linked to objects in the virtual world. For example, a grabber tool could be triggered by glove gesture, mouse button, or keypress signals and linked to an avatar hand or pointer model.
Note: Tools can be added through the vizconnect interface. See the Avatars and Tools tutorial for step by step instructions.
