On the right side, under the *Stream*, *Driver* and *Display* information will be shown. After you configure **Latency**, check **Listen** checkbox inside the device node.

### Read Vive in Layer Layouts

To use the information read by **Vive Controller** node in LightAct, you need to create a **Read Vive** node in the layouts.

Choose **Vive Controller** device in a **Device** dropdown menu, or connect **Device reference** node to this input, and you are ready to go.

Besides **Position** and **Orientation** vec3s, *Read Vive* also provides **Pressed** boolean, which tells you when the button on the beacon was pressed.
