    HoloLens HMD

    Some interesting info... Both Dynon and Garman have well documented serial (RS-232 at 115200 baud) protocols for EFIS data. That's almost certainly enough for this use case. This person started with that: huVVer-AVI Download – Vx Aviation & huVVer.tech and used an ESP-32 to stream the data over...

    HoloLens HMD

    Wow you've made some non-trivial progress, I love it! Shoot me an email/PM sometime. Really nice to hear from someone with first-hand experience, and also super happy I'm not the only one thinking this direction. Avionics data I can help with if it's standard consumer hardware; I don't have...

    HoloLens HMD

    Bifft, could you ping ScaleBirdsScott? I'm not allowed to, but think he would be interested. Per his post in the older HMD thread, it's 2022 now and as he predicted hardware is getting close.

    HoloLens HMD

    Unfortunately this is only true for a very small subset of symbology. There are 3 coordinate spaces you'll need to work in: Head/headset space - symbols always floating directly in front of your vision (if any) Aircraft space - symbols that are 'anchored' to the airframe, like a virtual HUD...

    HoloLens HMD

    I've been pinging everyone I know to see if anyone has a HoloLens V2 I can borrow. 3.5k is too much to drop on an experiment. I've read that the field of view on the V2 is pretty good (54 degrees). It doesn't need to be full vision, you just 'clamp' out-of-frame symbols to the edge of the FOV...

    HoloLens HMD

    "I would be very concerned about ability to see the HUD against a daylight-bright background" Nooo. That's not the news I was hoping for! Can you tint the visor? I'm also surprised you can't crank up the brightness, as it's direct light projection; there isn't really an (engineering) limit to...

    HoloLens HMD

    Has anyone played with a Microsoft HoloLens as a HMD? I found this Using augmented reality to reduce workload in offshore environments - CEAS Aeronautical Journal but I'm really surprised to find no mention of the HoloLens in the EAB community. The idea is pretty simple: take a HoloLens...
