# Monitor Mode Input

In Monitor Mode, interaction in Ovation happens through the use of a keyboard and mouse.

## Mouse

### Cursor and Move Modes

What happens on the screen when you move your mouse depends on what mode you are in.

#### Cursor Mode

In cursor mode, your mouse cursor is visible on the screen and can be used to select various user interface elements such as menu buttons and speech tool buttons (e.g., next slide).

#### Move Mode

In move mode, your mouse cursor is hidden, and any mouse movement causes your "head" (the image on the computer monitor) to rotate around as if you are looking around.

## Keyboard

You can walk around the environments using the arrow or WASD keys on your keyboard.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ovationvr.com/ovation/vr-monitor-modes/input-mouse-and-keyboard.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
