Teleport Arc and Arrival Point

When in Teleport mode, a line (arc) shows exiting the device. The line is straight or parabolic depending on the vertical orientation of the hand device.

At the end of the line, a target mesh shows that represents the teleport arrival point.

User can adjust the teleport arrival point by moving the hand. It’s also possible to change the length of the teleport and the orientation of the arrival point.

At the end of a teleport, the user is moved to exactly to the selected point in the scene with the same orientation selected for the target.
