Efficient Indoor Mapping with HoloLens 2

Abstract: Indoor navigation systems for pedestrians require floor plans of buildings. Acquiring them is costly and time-consuming, as the standard procedure is to digitise 2D blueprints and augment them with information required for navigating users. In this demo, as an alternative, we use the Holo Lens 2 to construct floor plans on site. We illustrate how to construct plans that are as accurate as digitised blueprints, but much more efficient to acquire and easier to augment with information about the physical environment that is impossible to obtain from blueprints.
