Building a Collaboration Service for the Hololens
summary
A pipeline converts Revit and CAD files via Forge model conversion into a game engine scene (Stingray/Unity), publishes derivatives to the cloud, and streams exploded, metadata‑rich assemblies to Hololens headsets; the demo shows real‑time shared holograms with voice and gestural commands, synchronized spaces, and simple simulations (flood, evacuation). Heavy feature recognition runs on an attached PC because the Hololens chokes on large meshes; mesh alignment and precision remain imperfect—stereo mesh misalignment and limited millimeter accuracy.
