Microsoft Mixed Reality Spectator View v1.0.0

What's New

Spectator View v1.0.0 builds off of the functionality provided in v1.0.0-beta. In addition to the mobile filming experience, users will now have the ability to film HoloLens 2 applications with higher end video cameras. In addition to this new functionality, v1.0.0 contains improved documentation and developer workflows.

Release Notes

1. Investments have been made in documentation. We now have improved instructions for setting up Spectator View as a submodule, video camera calibration, video camera compositing, building for Android, and building for iOS.
2. Mobile devices can now specify HoloLens IP Addresses at runtime to connect to the shared experience. Users will no longer need to recompile applications with HoloLens IP Addresses change.
3. DLL dependencies now play well with one another when building for different device flavors (x86, ARM, etc). Previously, some dependencies for HoloLens 2 caused errors for HoloLens builds and vice versa.
4. Camera rig models have been included in the repository. Said models can now be 3D printed or machined to mount a HoloLens 2 device to a video camera for capture card filming.
5. QR Code detection logic has been updated to consume newer binaries.
6. OpenCV dependencies used in video camera calibration and ArUco marker detection have been updated from OpenCV version 3.4.3 to 4.1.1
7. Improvements were made to Android video playback. Choosing to view a video now launches the last recorded video compared to opening the photo app to its landing page.
8. Video camera filming now supports recording 4K video comprised of 4 1920x1080 video streams. This allows post production color correction for camera and hologram feeds.
9. Spectator View now has a documentation website: https://microsoft.github.io/MixedReality-SpectatorView/README.html
