Display the game controls on the controllers when system menu is open
under review

So many of our customers have a hard time understanding where the different buttons are when we instruct them. If the controls could somehow hover next to the controllers when the system button is pressed, we could just instruct them to press the system button and look at the controllers when they have difficulties with the controls.
Lazy mockup attached!

Not sure if this will help you.
Springboard does have the option of putting the information of what buttons do what when you pull up the timer or switch between games. Since we have to have staff help set up, we usually go over the controller button locations and what they are called before the headset goes on so they can understand the instructions later. Not the easiest fix, but it does help us.

Hey everyone! Matthew from SpringboardVR here.
Sadly our problem here is mostly on the technical side, not a lack of us wanting to offer this feature!
Once we are inside of a game and the system menu is pressed it's incredibly difficult to inject this kind of UI without working with the game developers to implement it.
We could be able to do it inside of our Launcher but the controls are different for every game so it wouldn't be of that much use.
We are always looking into other ways of making it easier for customers to understand and learn game controls!

Matthew Hall: maybe just let arcade owners add text to each controle like you have on the menu where you explain how to get back to main menu etc...

This can be done in an hour from scratch in Unity and would save VR Arcades lots of hours of work in guiding customers and getting them through their first experiences.
