HoloLens 3D miniMap: any house can be spatially-mapped by Hololens in 3 minutes and turned into this 3D holographic miniMap, with synced animations of life-size and miniature characters (Lina, Storm, and Luna from Dota2).

The miniMap can be expanded, shrunk, hidden from view, or viewed from any angle or cross section. Both life-size and miniature characters can be controlled via voice commands and hand gestures, allowing remote control of life-size holograms not within direct line of sight.

Background story: HoloLens 3D miniMap was something I dreamed of when I was working on the Shared Holograms 240 Tutorial, because half of the time my emulator’s head avatar would appear outside of the walls of my home, or just totally disappear when I turned on Occlusion of spatial mapping. With this miniMap, it allows users to see all the holograms even when they move beyond walls. I hope that with this minimap, it will be easier to sync up world anchors and debug the position and rotation offsets of shared worlds.

Special thanks to Valve’s Dota2 for the fun and the inspiration.

Special thanks to 3D Brothers for their awesome animation.
