Spacetop Early Adopter (EA) has several features available to adjust the canvas and increase comfort and productivity. These features address visual needs and allow each user to experience Spacetop in a way that is comfortable and convenient for them.
Adjusting the canvas will impact your field of view in the glasses, and can change items perceived location and size.
Zoom In/Out
The zoom feature actually will bring the canvas closer to you, or move it further away. This gives the appearance of windows on your screen bigger or smaller, and can make more of less of your canvas visible in your field of view.
Zooming in will enlarge content within your field of view. This will make panels within your field of view appear bigger, closer, and enlarged.
Zooming out will shrink content within your field of view. This allows for greater organizational visibility of Spacetop’s panels across the overall canvas.
To enlarge or zoom in on content across Spacetop’s canvas:
Ensure that the windows you wish to see up close are within your field of view. If they’re not move the windows to be so.
Place three fingers at the top of Spacetop’s trackpad.
Drag them downwards Spacetop’s trackpad from top to bottom. Content should move closer to your eyes.
To shrink or zoom out on Spacetop’s Spatial Canvas:
Place three fingers at the bottom of Spacetop’s trackpad.
Drag them upwards across Spacetop’s trackpad from bottom to top. Content should move farther away from your eyes.
Pan
Panning allows you to shift your layout and all content on the canvas from side to side
Pan with trackpad: Place three fingers on the trackpad, move fingers left or right to shift canvas in the desired direction
Pan with Keyboard: Another option to pan canvas is the keyboard short cut Alt + Ctrl + Left/Right
Reset pan: Alt + Ctrl + Backspace
Adjust Height
You can shift the entire canvas up and down on the vertical axis to focus on different areas.
Adjust height: Ctrl + Spacetop key + Alt + Up/Down
Tilt
Tilt changes the angle of the canvas. Tilting can be useful in situations where one would like to lie down or recline while using Spacetop.
Tilt with Trackpad: Ctrl + 3 fingers swipe up<->down
Tilt with Keyboad: Alt + Ctrl + Shift+ Up/Down
Reset Tilt: Alt + Ctrl + Shift + Backspace
Anchoring
One of Spacetop EA's many strengths is its ability to stick pixels in literal space and keep them there.
Simply put, if you open a window, pick up your Spacetop EA, and then walk away, the window will not follow you but still exist in the location it had been originally opened.
Sometimes you will want to move your whole set up. When that happens you can move all of your windows and the home bar to be centered over your keyboard. To move your canvas in relationship to your keyboard press:
Re-anchor Canvas: Shift + Shift
Travel Mode
While being able to leave your widows exactly where you opened them is sometimes useful, there are some situations where you need your screen to stay with you. For this reason, Spacetop EA comes with travel mode. Travel mode ties your screens and layout to your keyboard, allowing them to move in space. This is useful when using Spacetop on various forms of transportation, such as cars, trains, and airplanes (but can also be used at a desk).
Enable or Disable Tracking Mode: Spacetop key + "T"
