Accuracy measurement of HoloLens2 IMUs in medical environments

Abstract

As augmented reality devices become more available, collaborative work in the augmented space is expected to increase. Knowing the position of participants allows for realistic interaction rather than passive participation. The HoloLens 2’s camera and IMUs fuse data to locate the device. In this paper, accuracy and repeatability of the HoloLens2 position finding was analysed to provide a quantitative measure of pose repeatability and deviation from a path while in motion. Deviation from a circular path was found to be below 5 mm per 628 mm travelled.
