Here's how to add voice commands to a Hololens experience:

 

In your Vuforia Studio project open the  Data panel (the one on the far right), open APPLICATION EVENTS, expand one of them (e.g. doubletap), then you will see the following text boxes:

  • Voice Alias
  • Voice  Response

 

Voice CommandsVoice Commands

You type some text in the Voice Alias and that would be your voice command; upon interpreting your command, the Hololens will say the voice response message.

 

The Hololens will then proceed according to your binding of that event, or to execute the associated Javascript.

 

HTH,

Alessio

@Alessio 

Hi, I tried to follow the steps as you previously described but when I do the binding there are no options for services

 

So, I'm wondering if there is additional information that I need to feed in...

This is only valid for a AR/3D Eyewear project, not for AR/mobile projects.

Which kind of project have you created? Can you provide screenshots and Studio version?

You can define the application event (voice command) and bind it to the service of the model widget. (no special code needed)

 

Hope that helps

Hi ​@mwodarz_INNEO ,

Thank you for your answer.

However, in my Vuforia Studio (version 10.0.4), I cannot see the Application Events section in the right-hand panel. May I ask how it appears in your Studio?

When I add a Model Target or a Model widget, I can see some events, but those are widget-specific events. I cannot find the global Application Events section that you have shown in your screenshot.

Could you please guide me on how to enable or access the Application Events panel in Vuforia Studio?

The 3 icons top right corner open/close the panels. The third icon is for the data panel that includes the application parameter

When you start a new experience in the project list, make sure to use the 3D eyeware template

Then you have no voice commands (ootb). This feature is available with Vuforia View on HoloLens.
