Learn how touchpad gestures behave in different situations on VIVE Eagle AI smart glasses, including media playback, phone calls, and VIVE AI conversations.
The touchpad on VIVE Eagle performs different actions depending on what you're currently doing. The same gesture can control music playback, manage phone calls, or interact with VIVE AI, allowing you to access common functions without reaching for your phone.
Unlike a traditional button, the touchpad is context-sensitive. Understanding how touchpad behavior changes between activities can help you use VIVE Eagle more efficiently.
How touchpad gestures work
VIVE Eagle automatically determines which touchpad actions are available based on your current activity. For example:
- If you're listening to music, touchpad gestures control media playback.
- If you're receiving a call, the same gestures manage the call.
- If VIVE AI is speaking, gestures control the AI response.
- If Follow-up mode is active, additional AI conversation controls become available.
No manual mode switching is required. The touchpad adapts automatically to the current context.
While listening to media
When audio is playing from your phone, touchpad gestures control media playback and volume.
| Gesture | Action |
| Tap once | Play or pause media |
| Double tap | Skip to the next track |
| Triple tap | Return to the previous track |
| Swipe forward | Increase volume |
| Swipe backward | Decrease volume |
These gestures work when controlling media playback on your connected phone.
Example
If you're listening to music during a walk, you can:
- Tap once to pause playback.
- Double tap to skip a song.
- Swipe forward to increase volume.
All without taking out your phone.
During an incoming call
When a phone call arrives, touchpad behavior automatically changes from media controls to call controls.
| Gesture | Action |
| Tap once | Answer the call |
| Double tap | End or reject the call |
| Swipe forward | Increase call volume |
| Swipe backward | Decrease call volume |
This allows you to quickly respond to calls while keeping your phone stored away.
Example
When you hear an incoming call notification:
- Tap once to answer.
- Double tap if you want to decline the call.
- Adjust call volume using swipe gestures during the conversation.
While VIVE AI is responding
When VIVE AI is speaking, you can use the touchpad to stop the current response.
| Gesture | Action |
| Tap once | Cancel the current VIVE AI response |
This is useful when you've already received the information you need or want to ask a different question.
Example
If VIVE AI begins a lengthy explanation and you want to move on:
- Tap the touchpad once.
- The current response stops immediately.
Using touchpad gestures in Follow-up mode
Follow-up mode keeps VIVE AI listening for a short time after it answers a question, allowing you to continue the conversation without repeating the wake word.
During Follow-up mode, touchpad gestures provide additional control over the conversation.
| Gesture | Result |
| Tap once | Skip the response and stop Follow-up mode |
| Double tap | Skip the response and continue Follow-up mode |
These gestures help you control whether VIVE AI continues listening for additional requests.
Example
Suppose VIVE AI answers your question, but you want to ask another one immediately:
- Double tap to skip the rest of the response while keeping Follow-up mode active.
- Ask your next question without saying the wake word again.
If the conversation is finished:
- Tap once to stop the response and end Follow-up mode.
Why the same gesture behaves differently
Touchpad gestures are designed around your current activity. For example:
- A single tap pauses music during media playback.
- A single tap answers an incoming call.
- A single tap cancels an AI response.
- A single tap stops listening during Follow-up mode.
Because VIVE Eagle automatically changes behavior based on context, you don't need separate controls for each feature.
