Virtual Laboratory Based on Node.js Technology and Visualized in Mixed Reality Using Microsoft HoloLens

Abstract

Abstract-The paper demonstrates remote control of test experiment in the virtual laboratory. This is a common problem, but another way can always be used to solve it. The paper compares several existing virtual laboratories and their possible issues at present. To develop such a new solution JavaScript technology was used on both client and server side using Node.js runtime. The modern approach is a visualization of received data in mixed reality using Microsoft HoloLens or another compatible device with Windows Mixed Reality platform.

Review of Microsoft HoloLens Applications over the Past Five Years

“…Based on these functions, various studies have been conducted to determine methods for using HoloLens more efficiently. For instance, a study on effectively controlling the HoloLens, using the gaze, gesture and voice control functions provided by the device, and studies on methods for utilizing this device in various industrial fields have been conducted [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Research on methods of visualizing the scanned image or data of an actual object as 3D contents [18][19][20] and correcting them [21,22] have also been conducted.…”

Holo3DGIS: Leveraging Microsoft HoloLens in 3D Geographic Information

“…The HoloLens has more advanced functions than those of traditional AR devices, such as stereoscopic 3D displays, gaze design, gesture design, spatial sound design, and spatial mapping [16]. Based on the above advantages, the HoloLens have been widely used in the research of visualization applications, including the application of the HoloLens in disasters and emergency management [17], the construction of virtual laboratories [18], the Mars exploration project [19], and anatomical medical, pharmacy, and other fields [20]. The objective of this paper is to propose an architecture and method to leverage the Microsoft HoloLens in 3D geographic information.…”
