“…However, many users have complained about the limitations of the HoloLens' FOV causing the disappearance of displayed content from the interface. This issue was particularly prevalent during the creation of the Heritage Building Information Modelling project (Fonnet, Alves, Sousa, Guevara, & Magalhães, 2017) and the Holo3DGIS application that suggests a similar development issue with the inability to display full user content further supports this problem (Wang, Wu, Chen, & Chen, 2018). Therefore, designing a customised UI for HoloLens applications is a viable solution for enhancing UX.…”

In recent years the applications of Mixed Reality (MR) processing has become highly apparent in academia and the manufacturing industry with the release of innovative technologies such as the Microsoft HoloLens. However, crucial design issues with the HoloLens' restricted Field Of View (FOV) to a narrow window of 34 degrees inhibited the user's natural peripheral vision (Kress & Cummings, 2017). This visual limitation results in a loss of pre-set functions and projected visualisations in the AR application window. This paper presents an innovative methodology in designing a spatial User Interface (UI), to minimise the adverse effects associated with the HoloLens' narrow FOV. The spatial UI is a crucial element towards developing a museum-based MR system, which was evaluated by nine experts in Human-Computer interaction (HCI), visual communication and museum studies. Results of this study indicate a positive user reaction towards the accessibility of the spatial UI system and enhancing the user experience. This approach can help current and future HoloLens developers to extend their application functions without visual restrictions and missing content.

“…Since the workload has been reduced it just displays, captures, and transmits information interactively which includes gestures alongside voice. The Geographical Information System (GIS) [18] collects information from the environment in real-time. The holographic remote player adjusts the field of view accordingly depending on the scenes either large or small.…”

Augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR) are advanced applications of computer visualization Which a hybrid structure allows users to explore novel used with other technologies in healthcare among other sectors give a promising future owing to the capabilities that come along with the technology that enables the medical personnel can carry out their surgical operations precisely. HOLOLENS 1, an MR product by Microsoft, is one of the first AR devices that have been widely applied in medicine for the treatment of complex diseases. It is also applied in operations that require a lot of care, for example, surgery of the liver. It is the main objective in the research to use HOLOLENS in performing surgeries while increasing Time Interval and controlling Semantic Segmentation while maintaining the truth of patient liver data during surgery for the segmentation liver 3d model. Next, we describe a new technology that increases the points of light, and the more the 3D intensity, the brighter the images the easier to interact with them. Holographic intensity is also to avoid blurring images to the point where the user sees through transparent HOLOLENS lenses. This improves Time Interval lens sensitivity and user detection in the environment. Finally, we describe a new framework for improving speed realtime render and model segmentation used hybrid Visualization between VR & AR called MR in which we decree render time speed through increase point light throw color calculations and energy function to be fast in sending and receiving data via WIFI unit.

“…To investigate possible effects for the perception of spatial information, new methodological challenges occur. The possibility to implement spatial models in AR applications has already been investigated and described (Wang et al, 2018). However, to take full advantage of the possibilities of AR for geospatial applications, technical limitations of the current available AR devices must be faced.…”

Augmented reality (AR), the extension of the real physical world with holographic objects provides numerous ways to influence how people perceive and interact with geographic space. Such holographic elements may for example improve orientation, navigation, and the mental representations of space generated through interaction with the environment. As AR hardware is still in an early development stage, scientific investigations of the effects of holographic elements on spatial knowledge and perception are fundamental for the development of user-oriented AR applications. However, accurate and replicable positioning of holograms in real world space, a highly relevant precondition for standardized scientific experiments on spatial cognition, is still an issue to be resolved. In this paper, we specify technical causes for this limitation. Subsequently, we describe the development of a Unity-based AR interface capable of adding, selecting, placing and removing holograms. The capability to quickly reposition holograms compensates for the lack of hologram stability and enables the implementation of AR-based geospatial experiments and applications. To facilitate the implementation of other task-oriented AR interfaces, code examples are provided and commented. Keywords Augmented reality • AR cartography • HoloLens • Spatial cognition • Experimental methods Zusammenfassung Augmented reality (AR), die Erweiterung der realen physischen Welt durch Hologramme, bietet viele Möglichkeiten die menschliche Wahrnehmung von, und Interaktion mit, dem geographischen Raum zu beeinflussen. Solche holografischen Elemente könnten beispielsweise zu einer Verbesserung von Orientierung, Navigation, oder durch Interaktion mit der Umgebung erzeugter mentaler räumlicher Modelle führen. Da sich AR Hardware noch in einem frühen Entwicklungsstadium befindet, sind wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen der Effekte von holografischen Elementen auf räumliches Wissen und die räumliche Wahrnehmung für die Entwicklung von nutzerorientierten AR Anwendungen notwendig. Die exakte und replizierbare Positionierung von Hologrammen, welche eine maßgebliche Voraussetzung für standardisierte wissenschaftliche Experimente ist, ist durch den Stand der Technik jedoch noch nicht gegeben. In diesem Artikel werden die technischen Ursachen hierfür erläutert. Im Anschluss beschreiben wir die Entwicklung eines Unity-basierten Interface, welches das Hinzufügen, Auswählen, Platzieren, und Entfernen von Hologrammen durch den Nutzer ermöglicht. Die Möglichkeit Hologramme schnell neu zu positionieren dient der Kompensation mangelnder räumlicher Stabilität von Hologrammen und ermöglicht die
