Introduction
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

environment with the HoloLens 2 until the warning disappears from your field of view.

and tripping. Clear the area of any tripping hazards and provide enough clear space to move freely.

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 2 calibration.

2. Take breaks periodically and stop and rest if you get tired, sore, or experience any discomfort.

headache, fatigue, eye strain, or dry eyes when using mixed or virtual reality, particularly as they
