Worth noticing: The interface includes a Galileo-drop comparison and lists keyboard shortcuts alongside a separate VR control legend.

Field notes

The interface separates free-form experimentation from Journey, Explore, and Lab modes, with additional course and Orb Hunt screens visible in the extracted page. Controls include leaf species and orientation, canopy release, a Galileo-drop comparison, and adjustable height and arc; listed keyboard shortcuts include Space, E, and G. A VR control legend is also present, though the extract does not establish device compatibility.
