Can the following scenario be implemented?

suppose in paraview 3D view, it works that when left mouse is clicked to select a object, that will pop up a decription string.  
Then in VR , how can we use VR button to pop up the string?

Thanks anyway

I’m afraid not yet, but @Tiffany_Chhim can probably explain to you exactly.

Hello mahb,

There is no documentation available currently unfortunately.

In VR mode, by default, if you point your (usually right-hand) controller on a cell and push the trigger (could depend on the type of controller), a popup should appear with some information on the cell.

It should report the call data for the cell you selected (and maybe the position also)

It is hard coded to show the position and cell data for the cell picked. To change it you’ld change the code in the openvr plugin.
