Whiteboard

• The whiteboard is a freehand whiteboard for VR users and a draw pad for desktop users. For Vr users, the controllers mimic the action of marker onto whiteboard.

• To draw on the whiteboard, approach the board and raise your controllers close to the board. A drawing tool will automatically appear in your hand.

• To erase content on the whiteboard, face your palms upward near the board and an eraser will automatically appear in your hand.

• Along the sides of the whiteboard, you will find color palletes. Select the desired color. The color of the marker will change and confirm the selection.

• To save what has been drawn, press the “Email a Snapshot” button below the board in order to send it to the email address associated with your Moonbeam account.

• Whiteboard is persistent; When leaving and re-entering room, the whiteboard will remain the same as the user leaves it
