Abstract

This paper presents a toolkit called Rotbav for easily constructing mixed reality (MR) apps that can be experienced in real time in large indoor physical space via HoloLens. It resolves the problem that existing MR devices, e.g. HoloLens, are unable to scan and model an entire large scene with several rooms at once. We introduce a custom data structure called VorPa, based on the Voronoi diagram, to implement path editing, accelerated rendering and location effectively. Our experiments and applications show that the toolkit is convenient and easy to use for constructing MR apps targeting large indoor physical spaces, in which users can roam in real time.
