Motion Controllers

Motion controllers are hardware accessories that allow users to interact in mixed reality. An advantage of motion controllers over gestures is that the controllers have a precise position in space, allowing for fine-grained interaction with digital objects.

Power on the controllers by pressing the “Windows button” for 2 seconds until LEDs light up.

Most headsets come pre-paired directly to the headset, but some early headsets require the motion controllers to be paired to your PC with Bluetooth 4.0. When you connect your immersive headset for the first time, you will be walked through turning on your motion controllers during setup.

Launching Apps

To launch an app, select it on Start. The Start menu will disappear, and the app will open in placement mode, as either a 2D window or a 3D model.

To run the app, you’ll need to place it in your home, if it is not already there. Use your gaze or controller to position the app where you want it. It will automatically adjust (in size and position) to conform to the space where you place it.

To launch the application select it with either of your motion controllers and press the trigger with your index finger.
