How can I synchronize Hololens with Android device?


I would like to extract data from both a microsoft Hololens and an android device. However, the data needs to have a synchronized timestamp. i.e. I need to start collecting data from both at the same time and know the offset between the two in ms (for example).

If possible I would also like to send and receive data between the two devices.

Has anyone had experience with this ? What was your solution ?


Solution

  • You can start from HoloToolkit sharing platform. It's a multi platform framework that enables real time communication between devices and its presently used to create HoloLens shared experiences. It has helper classes and libraries for C# (unity, WPF, UWP) and Java so you could potentially adapt it - not without some effort - to Android. This is to my knowledge the closest there is to a fully functional communication and syncronization mechanism for Holo
