Starting a session

From the Holos Capture home screen:
  1. Tap New Capture to open the session setup sheet
  2. Select a Skill to record under, or leave it unassigned for a free-form capture
  3. Confirm that tracked objects are loaded (if any are configured for the skill)
  4. Tap Start Recording
The app enters an immersive space and begins recording all active modalities simultaneously.

​
Modalities

Each modality captures a distinct data stream. All streams are timestamped and synchronized to the same clock.

​
During a session

  • A recording indicator is visible in the corner of your view while capturing
  • Tracked objects appear highlighted when the system has a lock on them
  • Transcription happens in real time; speak clearly if you want good captions

​
Stopping a session

Tap the Stop button to end the recording. The app will finalize all streams and package them into a session file. This may take a few seconds for longer recordings. Once finalized, you’ll be taken to the session review screen. See Uploading.
