			The HoloLens interaction model has, in general, three key elements: Gaze, Gesture, and Voice. The Gaze relates to what you are looking at (e.g. headtracking), the Gesture is an “air-tap” movement that the HoloLens will recognize and allow for selection of items, and Voice that allows for voice commands. Even though the gestures work well on HoloLens, and the voice commands are reliable, there have been reports that it may become inconvenient for some users to use them over and over again during a short period of time. Indeed, Jared Petty from IGN reports that even after practicing the “air-tap” gestures, preference went to the Clicker since it provided tactile feedback that made the interactions with the holograms feel more precise <ref name=”4”></ref>. The HoloLens Clicker is, therefore, a way to solve this and give users another option to control the holograms in the AR device <ref name=”3”></ref> <ref> Pradeep (2016). Microsoft planning to release HoloLens Clicker accessory to improve interactions with holograms. Retrieved from mspoweruser.com/microsoft-planning-to-release-hololens-clicker-accessory-to-improve-interactions-with-holograms</ref>.

			Compared to other headsets, like the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and PlayStation VR, the HoloLens Clicker controller is the simplest and smallest of the peripherals. Due to its small design, it is intended primarily for navigation and not for use in precise application such as gaming. This device is the only controller that has been unveiled for the HoloLens, for now. A more complex controller may be in the works <ref name=”3”></ref>.

			A Development Edition of the Microsoft HoloLens has been released, which includes the Clicker peripheral <ref name=”1”></ref>.
