Asteroid dodging game prototype |
A game, where the player dodges randomly spawning asteroids and score is awarded for dodging for a long time without getting hit |
The game worked as imagined, but text size had to be adjusted, randomized spawns restricted and ultimately, the game was not a particularly pleasant experience. |

Spatial mapping demo |
A demo visualizing the spatial mapping capabilities of Hololens – showing the floor, ceiling, tables as differently colored surfaces |
Everything worked as imagined, although the spatial mapping was more erroneous than we hoped for and we will have to take this into account for future prototypes. |

Spatial mapping object placement demo |
Placing objects automatically on previously mapped surfaces – dropping balls from the ceiling for the purpose of the demo |
The ceiling was identified correctly, and the balls were also created correctly just below the ceiling, however they weren't spawning randomly, but concentrated on certain places on the ceiling. |

Rotation/Translation demo |
Picking objects up with gestures and moving them around or rotating them |
The translation worked very well. Unfortunately, double tapping for rotation was quite clunky and rotation even more so. |

Using OpenCV and Aruco for tracking |

Could not compile OpenCV in such a way to make it run on the HoloLens |

Building an open source Aruco project as a starting point |
Used this project as a starting point: https://github.com/qian256/HoloLensArucoUnity/ |
Built a working dll for the HoloLens |

Trying to build the Aruco project for the Unity editor |
To enable work on the tracking when the HoloLens isn’t available, I need DLLs of the same code, butcompiled to run in the Unity editor |
Since the given build system is based on CMake, I could not find a way to create working DLLs to run in the editor. |

Try rebuliding the Aruco project manually from scratch |
Instead of using CMake, try to configure the build manually in the hopes of finding the error from before. |
I was able to create custom project files, and to build a DLL for the unity editor, but now builds for the HoloLens do not work. |

Investigate broken DLLs for any obvious signs why Unity may not accept them. |
Looking into the files and DLL specifications to look for possible incorrectly set flags or similar mismatches. |
I couldn’t find any apparent cause of why Unity may not accept the DLLs. |

Using the AprilTag library for tracking |
AprilTag is another library that has no dependencies and is pure C, and thus should be easier to get working on the HoloLens |

Using Microsoft’s HoloToolkit code to create a standalone plugin of the AprilTag library |
Making a standalone library helps to configure it to my needs, and to validate usage. |
Successfully created the plugin which runs within Unity and on the HoloLens |

Using the provided HoloToolkit library to make a simple Unity project to place objects at their tracked position. |
|
The Unity project places objects correctly, however performances is far below real-time, which is an issue. |
Tilman |
25/11/16 - 1/12/16 |
| 4.2.3 |
Perform performance tests using the standalone library, and optimise tracking to run in realtime. |

Building Unity Chess Game for Hololens |
Building a chess game to apply to hololens, idea is to making a multiplayer game where two hololens can interact with one another |
Game is being built with assets. Game is now built and operational. Next stage is to work on how two hololens would interact with one another |
