Discover mixed reality
On HoloLens, holograms blend the digital world with your physical environment to look and sound like they're part of your world. Even when holograms are all around you, you can always see your surroundings, move freely, and interact with people and objects. We call this experience "mixed reality".
The hand-tracking frame
HoloLens has sensors that can see a few feet to either side of you. When you use your hands, you'll need to keep them inside that frame, or HoloLens won't see them. However, the frame moves with you as you move around.
Touch holograms near you
When a hologram is near you, bring your hand close to it and a white ring should appear on the tip of your index finger. This is the touch cursor which helps you touch and interact with holograms with precision. To select something, simply tap it with the touch cursor.
Use hand ray for holograms out of reach
When there are no holograms near your hands, the touch cursor will hide automatically and hand rays will appear from the palm of your hands. Hand rays allow you to interact with holograms from a distance.
Start gesture
The Start gesture opens the Start menu. To perform the Start gesture, hold out your hand with your palm facing you. You’ll see a Start icon appear over your inner wrist. Tap this icon using your other hand. The Start menu will open where you’re looking.
Move, resize, and rotate holograms
In mixed reality home you can move, resize, and rotate app windows and 3D objects using your hands, hand ray and voice commands.
Use HoloLens with your voice
