Prerequisites

  • Hololight Space or Hololight Space Cloud.

  • Hololight Space Client on a supported XR device.

Interactive live view

Hololight Space supports new ways to interact with the environment using its live stream feature. When the live stream is enabled, you can see and interact with Hololight Space from the perspective of a connected XR device.

An XR device must be connected using Hololight Space Client before live view becomes available, as the feature relies on the device’s viewpoint.

Interactive live view features

  • Hierarchy
    Allows you to view the hierarchy of objects in the space and select them directly from the live view.

  • Live XR
    Switch to the live camera stream of the connected Hololight Space client. This is currently available only on Microsoft HoloLens 2.

  • Spatial mouse
    Use a spatial mouse to interact with all 3D elements visible to the XR user:

    • Press any 3D button.

    • Use manipulation gizmos such as move, rotate, and scale.

    • Adjust the distance between the mouse and the client camera using the scroll wheel.

  • Screenshot
    Capture screenshots instantly from the server.
    Screenshots are saved in:
    3D objects > Hololight Space > Screenshots

  • Annotations
    Create annotations in the space by drawing with your mouse. Use the scroll wheel to adjust the distance between the mouse and the client camera.

Spatial Mouse functionality is disabled in live XR view.
