Spatial Mesh Not Centered - HoloToolKit

DaveDashDaveDash ✭
in Questions And Answers

Hi all,

I'm new to HoloLens development. I'm using the current master version of the HoloToolKit and the appropriate unity version listed on the Mixed Reality Github page.

When I use the Spatial Processing Prefab in unity for Spatial Understanding and Spatial Mapping, and look at the map through my HoloLens, I'm finding it consistently off centre by about 2 metres in the same direction.

For example, the walls, tables, chairs, etc in the mesh are consistently in the horizontal direction off by about the same amount.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

    Hey, @DaveDash. Make sure that your camera and your spatial mapping game objects are all at 0,0,0. Also make sure spatial mapping's surface parent is set to something that's also at 0,0,0. I usually set it to itself. If none of this helps would be interesting to investigate further. Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the response Stepan.

    I actually noticed some of my objects were not set to 0,0,0 and went and set them all to that, and it didn't make a difference.

    So just to confirm the game object the spatial understanding and spatial mapping prefabs are in is set to 0,0,0, and also the prefabs themselves are also set to 0,0,0.

    Other than that everything is pretty much the default. Any ideas on where I should check next?

    Ah no, I have changed the position of the camera. I'll recenter that and get back to you..

    EDIT: Yes that fixed my issue. So simple, thank you very much.
