# XR Device Simulator

This sample is installed into the default location for package samples, in the `Assets\Samples\XR Interaction Toolkit\[version]\XR Device Simulator` folder. You can move these Assets to a different location.

The XR Interaction Toolkit package provides an example implementation of an XR Interaction Simulator to allow for manipulating an HMD and a pair of controllers using mouse and keyboard input. This sample contains example bindings for use with that simulator, and a Prefab which you can add to your scene to quickly start using the simulator. Please see the [XR Interaction Simulator Overview](xr-interaction-simulator-overview.md) for more information on how to use the interaction simulator.
