On HoloLens Device I say "Hey View, scan ", but no reaction. On the same HoloLens Device i say "Hey, Cortana" and I have reaction from device. What can I do for activate voice command from view on Hololens? (I use Vuforia Studio 8.3.2 and last version on Vuforia View)
Hi,
I found this old post.
Did you check in the HoloLens setting privacy if the microphone permission is allowed for the Vuforia View app?
Following steps:
Hi,
If your microphone permission is enabled as per Roland's suggestion, make sure you leave a pause between saying "Hey View" and saying "Scan". When you say "Hey View", just wait until the HoloLens generates a short acknowledgement tone, then say "Scan". You may get a response from the HoloLens asking "Did you say Scan?" to which you can answer "Yes".
Funnily enough, try using a slightly American accent also (no kidding!) as this can help!!

Hi,
Thanks you very much. I try to do it, ASAP.
I used to have real problems with the HoloLens recognising my Australian accent and it would not pick up "Hey View" unless I used an American access like @bwhelan mentioned. It's gotten better with updates to View and the HoloLens OS, but it's still not 100%.
Note that in addition to "Hey View" you can also say "Hey ThingWorx". It's not in the documentation any more as it's a legacy from when it was called ThingWorx View. I found I could get this to work much better than "Hey View". Hopefully this won't get removed a I still prefer to use it to putting on my bad American accent.
Also, if you want to get back to Scan mode, you can just use the swipe down gesture.
