Enhancing Reality

Welcome to Microsoft HoloLens By Example; join me on a journey through this book to learn about Microsoft's HoloLens device and more generally, mixed reality (MR) applications, through a series of exciting example, each uncovering an important concept related to developing mixed reality applications, including:

  • Understanding the environment and context of the user through image recognition and spatial mapping
  • Projecting and placing holograms into the real world
  • Allowing the user to interact with holograms using a variety interaction modes including gaze, gesture and voice
  • Sharing the experience across devices 

We will start our journey by briefly peering into the past to see how our relationship with computers has changed over the past couple of decades, before defining MR with respect to reality and MR. We will then cover some of the core building blocks of MR applications before wrapping up this chapter.

A good place to start is always at the beginning, so let's start there.
