Interaction modes in Blender

Interactions in Blender depend on your XR device and whether you’re using controllers or hand tracking. Currently Blender doesn't support Hand Tracking coming in the latest version of the VR Inspection add-on.

Troubleshooting connection issues

If your XR device can’t connect, first make sure it and your PC are on the same network. Then check that your firewall isn’t blocking Hololight Stream Runtime. For more tips, read our Software, System, and Network requirements and our detailed troubleshooting guide.
