Mixed Reality - Digital Twin Anchoring
Introduction
To enhance your experience in the mixed reality app, it is essential to perform object anchoring before engaging with the digital twin. This process can be done automatically through object detection or manually.
Once your digital twin is accurately aligned with the real-world model, you can begin interacting with various procedures, including requesting remote support and entering virtual rooms. Object anchoring sets the foundation for seamless engagement and ensures a smooth transition into the mixed reality environment.
Getting Started
To begin, select a Digital Twin or a procedure from your project. This will initiate the object anchoring process. A brief tutorial will be presented, including a moving GIF animation. You will have the option to skip the tutorial or view it by pressing the Next button.
Red, Yellow, and Green
During the anchoring process, you will see a portion or the entire digital twin, depending on the object detection model chosen by the advanced content creator. Each stage of anchoring is represented by a different color:
Red: Initially, the object detection is searching for the real-world model but hasn't found anything yet.
Yellow: The anchoring process begins as the real-world model is detected and alignment begins. Maintain a steady head position to transition from yellow to green.
Side Hand Menu
When you raise your right hand, a side-hand menu will appear, providing you with additional options for anchoring your digital twin. This menu consists of four buttons:
Object Placement: This is the default mode for anchoring, utilizing the automatic process with the color-coded stages mentioned earlier.
Done: After performing manual object placement, you can press the Done button to confirm and finalize the positioning.
Reset: This button allows you to reset the rotation and position of any manually placed objects back to their default positions.
Manual Placement
As mentioned earlier, even if you don't have a physical real-life model available, you can still interact with your digital twin using manual placement. By selecting the manual placement option, your holograms will become more dynamic, surrounded by a movable and rotatable cage. The dots on the cage serve as handles that allow you to adjust manually the position and orientation of your model within your surroundings.
