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.

Testing your application


A holographic application is quite similar to testing a Windows application from some perspectives and is also very different from other perspectives. It's similar from the perspective of functional testing, performance testing, security testing and other similar factors, which we apply for any other Windows application testing. But testing of a holographic application is also very different from other Windows applications in factors such as lighting, sound, space, angles, and so on. These factors are very important, because holograms interact with real environments, and real space varies from one place to another. So, holograms should be designed and make it intractable to support variant real environments. Let us look at these factors in details.

Lighting conditions

Light can play a very important role while viewing the hologram. There could be a scenario which could make the whole experience bad, such as bright light coming from the back of the hologram, or from...
