Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, it is far too easy to accidentally enter a world/session orb without the consent of the user or without knowing that you touched the orb. Prime example of this is when a world/session orb is moving (usually very fast) and any unsuspecting user comes into contact of that orb will begin to initiate a world join from that world/session orb.
This can be seen here:
Not to mention that also the above image can make it WAY WORSE because it can open 10+ worlds that you did not want open... Which then can exacerbate the problem of not wanting to join each one.
Describe the solution you'd like
A simple setting that allows the user to be prompted before actually joining a world. The current context menu does this, but only for clicking on the world/session orb.
Taking inspiration from VRChat's way of handling it (as well as allowing the familiarity for users coming from that platform to Resonite). Here is the setting they use (highlighted in a red box for your convenience):
And here is what they do to let you know that you are near a portal (or entryway to another world) on desktop:
(Apologies as the images I took are not the best, but I hope it gets the idea across of what I am trying to explain).
Describe alternatives you've considered
Making a system manually to detect if you are close to a world/session orb or about to join a world, but that may require a bit of ref hacking, and even then, once the join has started, there is no way to cancel the joining of that world.
Additional Context
This is mostly a quality of life feature, but something that would be welcome for new users coming from VRChat.
