Overview of this book

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.

Controlling your HoloLens remotely


The HoloLens Device Portal lets you manage and configure your device remotely over a network. You can connect, deploy apps, and capture and view real-time MR data using the HoloLens Device Portal. It has also advanced diagnostic tools to help you troubleshoot and view the real-time performance of your Holographic app.

The HoloLens Device Portal is like the Windows Device Portal and is available for each device family. It is a web server on your device that you can connect to from a web browser on your PC when running on the same network.

To enable access to the device portal, you must enable the Developer Mode by turning on the Remote Management access from the Settings|Updates & Security|For Developer.

Once the device setup is done, you can access the device portal in your computer browser just using your HoloLens device IP address. The following screenshot shows a first glimpse of your HoloLens Device Portal:
