Spectator View enables users to view and record both HoloLens and HoloLens 2 experiences from secondary devices, such as mobile phones and DSLR cameras.

The v1.0.0-beta release converges all pre-existing Spectator View projects into the same code base. Content has been relocated from MixedRealityToolkit, MixedRealityToolkit-Unity and MixedRealityCompanionKit into the MixedReality-SpectatorView repo. v1.0.0-beta is intended to allow for initial feedback before the first official release (anticipated mid August 2019).

What's New

With v1.0.0-beta, users can view and record HoloLens experiences on Android and iOS devices. The v1.0.0-beta release also establishes the groundwork for filming experiences with DSLR cameras. Formal support for filming with DSLR cameras will be provided in v1.0.0.

Release Notes

  1. Spectator View has been updated to support HoloLens 2.
  2. Spatial coordinate systems are now shared across devices using Microsoft Mixed Reality Spatial Alignment interfaces. This will allow easier adoption of new spatial alignment strategies as they become available.
  3. Spectator View now supports uni-directional state synchronization. Unity content running on HoloLens 2 and HoloLens devices can be automatically synced to mobile devices.
  4. Android is now a supported mobile platform. Previous releases of Spectator View only supported iOS.
  5. Azure Spatial Anchors can now be used for sharing spatial coordinate systems.
  6. Spectator View now contains sample code from the //BUILD 2019 demo.
  7. QR Code detection can now be used for sharing spatial coordinate systems on HoloLens 2 devices.
