Abstract

In this paper, we present a 3D User Interface design for a shared augmented reality setup to support strategic, tactical, and training platforms. An accurate 3D holographic object registration is necessary to enable a shared augmented reality experience using multiple Microsoft HoloLens devices. We developed a sensor data fusion framework which uses both external positional sensor data and Microsoft HoloLens to reduce augmented reality registration errors in our shared augmented reality application. Our shared augmented reality 3D User Interface design implemented in the application, together with our sensor data fusion framework, enables the use of multiple Microsoft HoloLens to support a mission planning scenario.
