Abstract

Mixed reality technologies provide more natural interaction with virtual objects integrated in physical environments. Considering global lighting conditions, the spatial mapping has limitations, which manifest when scanning under limited light intensity. This paper evaluates the impact of red, green and blue monochromatic lighting sources on the spatial map scanning and distance measurement process of the Microsoft HoloLens holographic computer and head-mounted display. The paper also compares luminous power values, measured by MS HoloLens, with the ones obtained from a professional luminous flux meter.
