Freezes your eyes in directional static poses. Lower left button (eye with play button) will cycle through all directions. Lower right button (closed lid with lashes) closes both eyes.

Any combination of the POSE tabs can be open at any time, including all three. Any combination of them can also be open with any other tabs on the HUD.
