Initially, it will be placed relative to the initial coordinate system, defined by the position of the user and the HoloLens. However, as we move on and the device learns more about its environment, the coordinate system based on the device will differ from fixed coordinate systems. Fixed or anchored systems will be repositioned every time the depth sensors decide the world looks a bit different than it initially thought; tiny mistakes will be corrected all the time.
So, assume we create a new coordinate system. Its origin will be placed two meters in front of the user when the system starts up. We can rotate this ...
