around. This directs the device to return visual feedback on its spatial mapping, drawing green
triangles on the surfaces it knows about.
Note:
The HoloLens continuously tracks its surroundings to maintain its position in the World. Here
are examples of things that can confuse the device. None of them is critical by itself but combined
they can create a bad experience where the device may lose its tracking ability.
• Windows, mirrors
• White empty walls (posters help)
• No furniture
• Looking at a display monitor (ex: having a large TV in the field of view when looking at the
manikin)
Note:
During the experience, you may see an image with the following text: “Trying to map your
surroundings…” This is because the HoloLens is having difficulty tracking the environment. Ensure
that you are taking the environmental considerations above into consideration and scan your
environment with the HoloLens until the warning disappears from your field of view.
Know Your Surroundings
Getting around HoloLens is a bit different from using Windows on other devices. Instead of moving
the cursor with a mouse, you use your gaze instead of moving a mouse and hand gestures instead of
clicking or tapping
.
Use in Safe Surroundings
When using the HoloLens you will move your body and walk around the mannequin to change your
field of view and viewing angle. Be sure to use the HoloLens in a place that is free of obstructions and
tripping. Clear the area of any tripping hazards and provide enough clear space to move freely.
About Your Environment
• Use HoloLens in a room with adequate light and plenty of space. Avoid dark spaces and
rooms with a lot of dark, shiny, or translucent surfaces.
• Avoid spaces with a lot of motion, as this may cause distraction and interfere with
HoloLens calibration.
Be Physically Capable
Make sure your balance and physical abilities are sufficient for any movements while using HoloLens.
Take breaks periodically and stop and rest if you get tired, sore, or experience any discomfort.
