Environmental Anchoring
The stability of the anchoring is highly impacted by the knowledge the HoloLens 2 has of its
environment. It is important to scan your surroundings when using the HoloLens 2 in a new room.
This prevents the hologram from drifting causing the device to lose its tracking.
Prior to launching CAE LucinaAR, walk around with the HoloLens 2 on your head so it can map the
surroundings. Microsoft suggests doing this for between 5 and 10 minutes, to look at the ceiling, the
floor and other objects from all sides. This step is important so the holograms stay grounded in the
world preventing the device from "getting lost". One trick is to finger tap in the air while looking
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 2 continuously tracks its surroundings to maintain its position in the World.
Below 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 message is an indication that the HoloLens 2 is having difficulty tracking the
environment. Ensure that you are taking the environmental conditions listed above into
