Navigating the Mixed Reality Scenario with HoloLens® 2

You can get a mixed reality experience using the HoloLens® 2 device to navigate in the scene and place it according to your real world.

Important: For a satisfying experience, you need:
  • A computer with a high-end AR/VR-compatible graphics card.
  • Fast and reliable Wi-Fi network to stream video from your computer to HoloLens® 2. Performance quality directly impacts display stability in HoloLens® 2, and the tracking quality.
