Second stable release of HoloLensARToolKit project, that supports fiducial marker tracking using the locatable camera of HoloLens.
What's new?
HoloLensARToolKit v0.2 involves a re-write of video pipeline, taking advantage of Windows.Media.Capture APIs. Compared to v0.1 where the frame data is achieved via Unity WebcamTexture, Windows UWP APIs provide direct access to video control.
The current implementation uses .NET Task-based Asynchronous Pattern widely, to parallelize video capture, tracking, and Unity rendering. The dependency between each module is loosened. HoloLensARToolKit v0.2 is able to achieve: rendering at 45-60 fps, video capture at 30 fps, and tracking at 25-30 fps performance.
