A lookup reference for operators and authors on the physical interactions Altoura Frontline uses on the HoloLens 2. ## Pointing and Selecting | Interaction | How to do it | What it does | | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Hand ray** | Point your hand at a distant control; a ray extends from your palm. | Puts the control in focus — the **"Say 'select'"** tooltip appears. | | **Head-gaze cursor** | Turn your head so the gaze cursor rests on a control. | Same as the hand ray: puts the control in focus. | | **Air-tap** | With the control in focus, pinch your index finger and thumb together. | Activates the control — the standard "click". | | **Direct touch** | Move close to a panel and touch the control with your finger. | Activates the control, same as an air-tap. | | **Hover + "Select"** | Focus a control with ray or gaze, wait for the **"Say 'select'"** tooltip, then say **"Select"**. | Activates the control by voice. See the [Voice Command Reference](/frontline/hololens/reference/voice-commands). | A procedure card in focus with the 'Say select' tooltip beneath it, illustrating ray and gaze targeting *** ## Palm-Up Hand Menus Raising either hand with your **palm facing toward you** opens a hand-anchored menu. Which menu appears depends on where you are: | Context | Menu that appears | Options | | -------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------- | | On the Home screen (not in a procedure or session) | **Floating Side Menu** | Procedures, Remote Expert, Profile | | Inside a procedure (Operator or Author mode) | **Procedure Side Menu** (contextual) | Rescan, Reposition Panels, Exit Procedure | Floating side menu anchored to a raised palm, showing the Procedures, Remote Expert, and Profile options See [Panels and Side Menus](/frontline/hololens/reference/panels-and-side-menu) for what each menu contains, and [First Launch and Navigation](/frontline/hololens/get-started/first-launch-and-navigation) for a guided walkthrough. *** ## Moving Panels and Follow Me * Panels can be **manually moved** in space; manually moving a panel automatically turns off Follow Me for it. * Say **"Follow me"** / **"Unfollow me"** to have a supported panel reposition itself in front of you as you move, or stay fixed. * Use **Reposition Panels** on the in-procedure side menu to bring the step, media, and 3D Model panels back directly in front of your current view. *** ## Working with 3D Models ### In Operator Mode Model behaviour is set by the author; operators cannot change model settings or spawn new models. See [Work with 3D Models and Media](/frontline/hololens/operate/work-with-3d-models-and-media). | Interaction | Requires | What happens | | ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Grab and move a model** | The author enabled **Interactable** for that model | The model can be repositioned in physical space. Movement affects only the current session. | | **Ghost placeholder** | **Interactable Ghost** enabled by the author | When you move the model, a shadow remains at the original authored position for reference. | | **Reset control** | An interactable model has been moved | A reset control appears to return the model to its authored position. | | **View only** | **Interactable** disabled | The model is fixed in space and cannot be grabbed or moved. | Interactable model in Operator Mode that has been repositioned, showing a reset control to return it to its authored position ### In Author Mode Authors place and manipulate models directly in the space. See [Add 3D Models and Media](/frontline/hololens/author/add-3d-models-and-media). | Interaction | How to do it | What happens | | ------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Show the bounding box** | Click/tap the placed model once | A bounding box appears; you can **resize** and **rotate** the model using its handles. | | **Hide the bounding box** | Click/tap the model again | The bounding box disappears. | | **Open the Edit menu** | Select the **Edit** (pencil) button that appears near the model | Opens options: Interactable, Animation, Duplicate, Copy Position, Paste Position, Delete. | | **Move a model** | Grab the model and place it where needed | Repositions the model in the physical space. | Selected 3D model displaying a visible bounding box for resizing and rotating Every interaction on this page also works by voice: focus the control or tile and say **"Select"**. See the [Voice Command Reference](/frontline/hololens/reference/voice-commands).
