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.

Build End-to-End Retail Solution - Scenario Identification and Sketching

Extending the current solution


The objective of this project was to build an enterprise scenario with HoloLens with integrated IoT. We focused on the connected scenarios and building a holographic with a 3D Model of a building. With respect to the holographic application, we focused only on Gaze and Gesture; however, there are several enhancements that you can do to extend this solution--here are a few of them.

Adding Voice Command

You can extend this application by adding Voice Command. Extension scenarios could be, for example, a command to display details of a room number and your holographic app shows the details of the room.

3D Model placement as table top mode

You can extend this application by adding the capability to place the building 3D Model on any surface, such as a table top or floor. This gives a more visual experience, rather than a 3D Model hanging in the air; that doesn't provide an impactful, rich experience.

Additional interaction with services

You can plan to extend the integration...
