VimedixAR: Getting Started
Thank you for choosing the VimedixAR add-on module, the latest innovation for your Vimedix ultrasound simulator.
Using the Microsoft HoloLens, VimedixAR allows you to see Augmented Reality in the form of 3D holograms that
appear directly on the Vimedix manikins.
The following guide contains links to videos that will show you how to easily start using VimedixAR to enhance your
Vimedix learning experience.
Getting Started with the Microsoft HoloLens

CAE Vimedix Augmented Reality Comes Alive
Freed from its two-dimensional environment inside a monitor, our VimedixAR™ ultrasound simulator leaps to life,
displaying anatomy you can enlarge, turn, rotate or command to return into its manikin body so you can view the
interrelatedness of its structures. Witness in real time how the ultrasound beam cuts through the human anatomy.

Connecting and Starting the HoloLens
Connecting and starting the HoloLens is a four (4) step process that MUST be completed in the following sequence.
Beginning with the router, computer, and HoloLens powered off:
1. Turn on the router
Power on the Router
2. Connect the network cable between the bottom port of the computer and any of the blue ports on the
router
The Ethernet Ports
3. Turn on the computer and wait for it to boot
4. Turn on the HoloLens (the HoloLens is pre-configured to connect to the router)
Turn on the HoloLens

Environmental Anchoring
The stability of the anchoring is highly impacted by the knowledge the HoloLens has of its environment. It is
important to scan your surroundings when using the HoloLens in a new room. This prevents the hologram from
drifting causing the device to lose its tracking.
Prior to launching VimedixAR, walk around with the HoloLens on your head so it can map the surroundings.
Microsoft suggests doing this for between 5 and 10 minutes, to look at the ceiling, the floor and other objects from
all sides. This step is important so the holograms stay grounded in the world preventing the device from "getting
lost". One trick is to finger tap in the air while looking around. This directs the device to return visual feedback on its
spatial mapping, drawing green triangles on the surfaces it knows about.
Note: The HoloLens continuously tracks its surroundings to maintain its position in the World. Here are examples of
things that can confuse the device. None of them is critical by itself but combined they can create a bad experience
where the device may lose its tracking ability.
1. Windows, mirrors
2. White empty walls (posters help)
3. No furniture
4. Looking at a display monitor (ex: having a large TV in the field of view when looking at the Manikin)
Note: You may see a warning icon with the text "Poor environment for tracking! Holograms may shift in position" at
the top left corner of your field of view during a VimedixAR simulation. Ensure that you are taking the environment
considerations above into consideration and scan your environment with the HoloLens until the warning disappears
from your field of view.

Ending a VimedixAR Simulation with Microsoft
HoloLens
To end a VimedixAR simulation with the HoloLens:
1. Bloom to return to the Start menu
2. Select the Remove icon in the upper right corner of the VimedixAR Startup window to exit the VimedixAR
simulation
VimedixAR Startup Window Remove Icon
Note: Air tapping the VimedixAR Startup window instead of selecting the Remove icon will resume the simulation.
