#hololens2 — Public Fediverse posts

Have you thought about viewing your #digital #3D #archaeology models in-situ in a trench at your site? Read our article on the use of #MixedReality and #AugmentedReality (#MR/#AR) in archaeological #fieldwork in the Journal of Computer Applications in Archaeology (#JCAA)! Our experiments utilized three devices: the Vuzix Blade 2 AR smart glasses, the Microsoft #HoloLens2, and the Meta #QuestPro MR headsets. These experiments aimed to enhance fieldwork efficiency and accuracy through hands-free data collection, stratigraphic comparisons using 3D models, depth-guidance systems for excavation, and virtual pottery reconstruction. Our findings highlight the significant potential of MR/AR technologies to transform archaeological practices. Our vision for the future demonstrates that these tools will, one day, provide archaeologists with enhanced vision and data interaction capabilities, ultimately advancing the field.
In less than 3 months, our article already has over 3000 views, so we thank you for your interest in exploring the future of digital archaeology with us!

您是否想過在考古現場的壕溝中查看數碼3D考古模型？請閱讀我們在《考古學電腦應用期刊》(#JCAA) 中關於在考古現場中使用混合現實和擴增實境 (#MR/#AR) 的文章！我們的實驗使用了三種裝置：Vuzix Blade 2 AR 智慧眼鏡、Microsoft #HoloLens2 和 @Meta #QuestPro MR 耳機。這些實驗旨在透過免持的資料收集、使用 3D 模型進行地層比較、挖掘深度引導系統和虛擬陶器重建，來提高考古現場的工作效率和準確性。我們的研究結果凸顯了 MR/AR 技術在改變考古實踐方面的巨大潛力。我們對未來的願景是，有一天，這些工具將為考古學家提供增強的視覺和數據互動能力，最終推動該領域的發展。 在不到3個月的時間裡，我們的文章已經有超過3000次瀏覽，感謝您有興趣與我們一起探索數碼考古的未來！

Lilbits: Pixel 9a pictures and Apple’s smart display plans leaked, Thunderbird for Android Beta is here, and Adobe adds AI to its entry-level photo and video apps

Google’s next mid-range phone could look a little different. Adobe is bringing AI features to its entry-level versions of Photoshop and Premiere. Apple may be planning to launch two smart displays. And the first public beta of the new Thunderbird email app for Android is here… although it’s really just a Thunderbird-branded version of an existing email client.

Here’s a roundup of recent […]

#MRTK3 has a subsystem implementation for speech commands that is supported by #HoloLens2. #MagicLeap2 supports voice commands as well, if only someone had taken the trouble of making a KeywordRecognitionSubsystem implementation of it, it would have had MRTK3 support for speech commands as well.

Well, guess what - someone just did. Me. So now you can have voice commands on *both* devices using the same API, and you only need to flip a checkbox in the MRTK3 settings.

When debugging problems after-the-fact, you can always use UnityPlayer.log. On #HoloLens2, that is. On other devices - for instance #MagicLeap2 - that's not available. So I wrote a little #ServiceFramework service to dump #Unity logfiles in a file for an app running on a device. While I was at it, I included filtering on keywords and log type as well.

For my second blogpost of the day ;) one of my more infamous and far-fetched experiments encompasses the combination of #MachineLearning combined with a Spatial Map to recognize and locate objects in 3D space, using a #YoloV8 #computervision model. This worked pretty well on #HoloLens2. I got it to work on #MagicLeap2 as well, but it was quite a rocky road. The #RealityCollective #ServiceFramework to the rescue :). Explanation, sample and full code at: https://localjoost.github.io/Running-a-YoloV8-model-on-a-Magic-Leap-2-to-recognize-objects-in-3D-space/

I wanted to see if I could run one of my more far-fetched #MRTK3 #HoloLens2 samples on #MagicLeap2. Step one was getting a Spatial Map. It was dead easy on HoloLens 2, but less so on Magic Leap 2. I managed to make it work, but there were more challenges than I had anticipated. I blogged my findings to help others avoid the same pitfalls as me.

After getting my app running with #MRTK3 on #HoloLens2, I of wanted to try it running on #MagicLeap2 as well. Turned out the Magic Leap MRTK package wasn't quite ready for that, so I hacked a bit around until it was. Or almost entirely was. And blogged about my findings, of course. https://localjoost.github.io/Using-MRTK3-GA-on-Magic-Leap-2/

There's a lot of events on StatefulInteractable, and it might not be abundantly clear how to use them and why. Therefore, I decided to make a simple sample that shows you which event is triggered by what, and allows you to experiment with those events

No code this time, but how to fix a 'physical' bug. In very rare occasions the #HoloLens2 headband adjustment knob gets detached from its moorings. Turns out, this is actually pretty easy to repair. This little blog post points the way.

A great use of #technology for #conservators: the #HoloLens2 is really just a fancy camera on a human but it works really well!

It could also be vital for #training new #conservation professionals. Also imagine this used for virtual courier trips!

I'm tickled by the prospect of adding better lights to the #headset. Collaborating directly with #Microsoft would actually be really cool.
