                ──What is the HOLSTER and Why?──                                                                                                                         With the rise of decent-enough hand tracking and multimodal features on the Quest Pro and Quest 3, I found 

myself wanting to use hand tracking as much as possible. After a small acclimation period, hand tracking has become my
preferred method of basic navigation. However, I still strongly believe that tracked controllers within
Virtual Reality can be a powerful tool - just that they don't have to be (and perhaps shouldn't be) the default method
to interact with virtual interfaces.

There are a few problems I ran into, though!

Every time I transition from hand tracking to controller usage, there is a small window of time where I have to
look around my playspace to find my controllers. This feeling is reminiscent of "losing the remote" to the TV.
In essence, not a good feeling. The inverse situation is just as anxiety-inducing - transitioning back
to hand tracking and carefully placing my controllers in a spot that is "out of sight enough" so that the
headset properly transitions to hand tracking, but in a memorable spot so that I can easily find them when
prompted again. Somehow, in the disorientation of leaving Virtual Reality, I seem to always forget that
memorable spot.

I imagined how this entire situation could potentially be better - How can we completely cut out this little
slice of anxiety and friction? Enter, ─HOLSTER─. The idea is simple: if the controller is a tool, why not
have a method of keeping the tool easily accessible at any time? Holster is exactly what it sounds like, a holster for
your tool (controllers) that keeps them readily available.

But it actually goes even further than this!
In using Holster, I realized just how powerful multimodal (the ability to use hand tracking and controllers
simultaneously) and the combination of having controllers at your hip can be - it's simply not being taken advantage of.
With HOLSTER + multimodal, new gameplay potentials open up that were never possible before. I will potentially
be exploring some of these possibilities either in upcoming videos or within my Discord/Patreon.

I strongly believe that something like Holster can make hand tracking and controller usage better, and I also believe
that something like Holster should be included in the box. Maybe through iteration and the power of
community, we can help make that abundantly clear.

===============================================================================================================
USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS:

-Wear either pants or some clothing that has a place to "clip" in
-Jean pockets seem to be the best solution

-QUEST OS:
-If you are having issues with the controllers constantly popping up while using hand tracking,
you can turn off "automatic hand tracking- controller switching"
You will then bump the controllers together to switch.

The automatic switching between tracking states will continue to be a slight issue depending on the
environment until Meta creates a more robust method to handle multimodal actions at the OS level.

===============================================================================================================

PRINT SETTINGS:

• Place the STL within your Slicer.
• Print in the orientation that the model is set by default (ensures the clip is printed properly).
• Do not change scale.
• Duplicate and mirror to have both sides of the HOLSTER.
• You can print in either FDM or Resin, I personally chose Resin.

STANDARD FDM:

• 0.2mm layer height
• 30% infill
• Supports + Brim Enabled (Auto Support)

RESIN PRINT:

• Supports optional depending on Printer
• Put STL in Slicer; your settings depend on resin type.
• I personally had the best results with ANYCUBIC High Clear UV Resin.
