HoloLens 2 Sensor Streaming
share
We present a HoloLens 2 server application for streaming device data via TCP in real time. The server can stream data from the four grayscale cameras, depth sensor, IMU, front RGB camera, microphone, head tracking, eye tracking, and hand tracking. Each sent data frame has a timestamp and, optionally, the instantaneous pose of the device in 3D space. The server allows downloading device calibration data, such as camera intrinsics, and can be integrated into Unity projects as a plugin, with support for basic upstream capabilities. To achieve real time video streaming at full frame rate, we leverage the video encoding capabilities of the HoloLens 2. Finally, we present a Python library for receiving and decoding the data, which includes utilities that facilitate passing the data to other libraries. The source code, Python demos, and precompiled binaries are available at https://github.com/jdibenes/hl2ss.
