HoloLens – The Most Natural Way to Interact

Microsoft HoloLens is the most powerful MR personal computing Windows device. It allows you to place your digital content in the real physical world where it matters most to you. This is what is called a MR device, one that tries to blend the real and digital worlds seamlessly and provides new ways to visualize the world beyond the screens. The boundaries between the real and the digital world start to blur, and you can interact with the digital world very similarly to how you would interact with the real physical world.

What is it about HoloLens that makes it stand out from the other devices in this genre? It is the fact that Microsoft HoloLens is the first fully untethered, self-contained computer running on Windows 10. Yes, that's right: no hassle of wires, additional cables, or connection to a computer or additional device...

Key benefits

Bring holographic insights to existing line-of-business applications, tools, and workflows

Focus on developing end-to-end realistic holographic application.

Build interactive model scripts and test them in Unity3D and holographic emulators

Description

Do you want to create stunning applications with HoloLens? Are you a developer who is fascinated with Microsoft HoloLens and its capabilities? If so, this is the book for you. This book introduces and demystifies the HoloLens platform and shows you different ways of interaction with computers (mixed-reality). You will start your mixed-reality journey by understanding different types of digital reality. You will learn to build your first holographic app. Also, you will understand holographic application integration possibilities within Line of Business Applications using Azure. Moving ahead, you will create Integrated Solutions using IoT with HoloLens. Gradually you'll learn how to create and deploy apps on a device. You will learn to publish application to the store; if you are an enterprise developer, you will also manage and distribute applications for enterprise-enabled or domain-joined HoloLens. Finally, you will develop an end-to-end realistic holographic app, ranging from scenario identification to sketching, development, deployment, and, finally, production.
