Coordinate Systems and Matrices problems
Hello,
We are working on a mixed reality application, written in C# UWP.
Obviously, we read many of the discussion in this forum, but still did not find any solution to our problem.
Our objective is to relocate the Hololens scene rendering on an external server. For this purpose, the Hololens camera position and orientation must be reproduced in our scene. The latter has a right handed Coordinate System (CS) similar to the one in OpenGL, while the Hololens camera CS (similar to DirectX) is left handed.
Based on this information, how can we get Hololens camera position and orientation of each eye?
Do we have to manipulate transform matrices, or can we deal with position vectors only?
Your help will be really appreciate!
Thanks!

Typically to switch between LH and RH coords just take only 1 axis and change it's signedness.
In other words take just the Y axis from the LH coordinates, and what ever it's value is, flip the sign. If it's positive, change it to negative and vice versa. Only flip one axis, don't change the X, or Z. Then rotate the coordinates from the other axis to what ever standard coordinate system you're using. Note, it doesn't matter which axis you flip the signedness, but just choose one is the important piece
Unless I'm missing something is this what you need?

Hi, and sorry for the delay.
I really appreciate the time you took to answer our questions.
Actually, I think our main problem was related to the matrix type (column or row). We now solved it and our app works great!
Thanks again
