Object tracking lets Holos Capture recognize and follow specific real-world objects during a session, recording their position over time alongside the other modalities.

​
How it works

When you start a session, the New Capture sheet lists every trackable object in your organization’s library. Select the ones that will be in the scene, and the app prepares each one and tracks its position in real time throughout the recording.

​
Setting up tracked objects

Tracked objects are managed in the Holos web dashboard, not in the Capture app itself.
  1. Go to Objects in the Holos dashboard
  2. Open the object, or upload a new one
  3. Click the scan icon and choose Enable object tracking. See Object tracking for the settings
  4. The Holos team processes the request; the object’s Trackable field flips to Yes when it’s ready
Once an object is trackable, it appears in the Objects list the next time you open the New Capture sheet.

​
Object library

The Holos platform includes a library of CC0 objects and supports org-private uploads. Admins and managers can upload GLB, OBJ, FBX, or USDZ models via Objects in the dashboard.
Uploading objects requires admin or manager access.
Uploaded models are automatically converted to the formats needed for web preview and AR tracking.

​
During a session

When a tracked object is recognized:
  • A highlight appears around it in your view
  • Its position is recorded each frame for the duration of the session
If an object goes out of frame or is briefly occluded, the app will re-acquire it when it reappears. Tracking gaps are recorded as-is.
