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

Summary


This chapter covered an end-to-end development aspect of a holographic application with IoT scenarios. Overall, the chapter was segregated into three different aspects of development. First, we discussed setting out a backend infrastructure where we simulate sensor data in Azure Event Hub and pass it through Azure Cosmos DB - SQL (DocumentDB) by parsing the raw data through Stream Analytics Jobs. Secondly, we discussed exposing a Web API for the sensor data stored into Azure Cosmos DB - SQL (DocumentDB), and finally, building the holographic application that connects with Azure Services to display live data in our application.

With all that covered, this chapter builds up a solid foundation for building a different connected scenarios application with unlimited possibilities using HoloLens and Microsoft Azure stacks. We will take this learning forward and in the next chapter, we will build another connected holographic solution.
