Prior to beginning setup, it is important to understand some basic concepts and environmental
considerations to ensure a safe and productive learning experience.
Using Hand Gestures
The Microsoft HoloLens has several hand gestures that users should become familiar with to
properly operate the device.
The Gesture Frame
HoloLens has sensors that can see a few feet to either side of the user. When gestures are used, they
must be kept inside that frame for HoloLens to detect them. As the user moves around, the frame
moves with them. When the user’s hand is inside the frame, the cursor will look like a ring. When
HoloLens cannot see the user’s hand the cursor changes to a dot.
Bloom
Blooming opens the Start menu. Most of the time, bloom is only needed once to get to Start, but
sometimes the user will need to bloom twice. If a user is uncertain what to do, blooming is a good
way to get reoriented. Bloom may also be used to hide the Start menu.
To bloom:
• Hold out your hand with your palm up and fingertips together
• Then open your hand
