Abstract

Aim of this paper is to study the problem of surface scanning and mapping in augmented reality using the Microsoft HoloLens headset and to introduce the solution on how to dynamically generate virtual content that would be able to respond to dynamic environment changes. The goal is to collect the data about the real environment in order to gain the knowledge of its modifications, to process it and understand. To accomplish this goal, HoloLens native components for spatial awareness were used. The final application that demonstrates this functionality contains a virtual avatar that moves around the environment in order to collect randomly generated targets. The character is able to react on dynamic environment changes and is controlled by the gamepad, connected to the headset via Bluetooth.
