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.

Summary


This chapter provided you with an inside look at the different components of the HoloLens device. You saw the major components of the device such as camera, sensors, lenses, speakers, and a set of processing units. The camera and sensors ensure the capturing and projecting of holograms, which is of prime importance for the functioning of the device; the speakers, on other hand, ensure the floating and surrounding audio that give a mixed experience along with the 3D view objects. It is also worth mentioning how different sets of processing units come together and process high volumes of data to produce an immersive experience. It would not be wrong to say that it is this combination of technological innovations that makes the HoloLens the awe-inspiring device that it is.

You have gone through the different possibilities of applications that can be developed using HoloLens. In the next chapter, we will jump-start building projects from scratch. Through these projects, you will learn...
