Once loaded, you should have a view of your scene as looking through one camera.
The virtual camera will automatically attempt to be tracked with your device.
Additionally, the view can be navigated by touch control.
Two-finger gestures up / down will control pedestal up / down, and by moving left / right, the camera will truck left / right.
With three fingertips touching the device, moving your fingers up / down allows you to move the camera forward (dolly in) / backward (dolly out).
Objects can be selected by touch.
The selected object (or chain of objects) will be visually highlighted with an outline overlay.
In the centre of the screen, a radial toolset will be display. This concentrates the main transformation tools like translation, rotation and scale.
Icons and gizmos follow the convention of most common digital content creating tools.
For more instructions, refer to the on-screen support available via the Help icon or the extended user guide.
A detailed user guide can be found under directory Docs at this repository's root.
