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

Sketching the scenarios


Next step after elaborating scenario details is to come up with sketches for online retail using holographic application scenario. As we discussed in previous project sketching phase, there is twofold purpose for sketching, first it will be input to the next phase of asset development for the 3D Artist, as well as it will help in validating requirements from the customer, so that there are no surprises at the time of delivery. For sketching, either the designer can take it up on its own and build sketches or can take help from the 3D Artist.

Let us start with the sketch for the primary view of the scenario, where application starts and user views the retail catalog.

  • Visualize and select primary categories like electronics, home furnishings, and others
  • Select primary category, and visualize subs categories. Like if user select home furnishings, then sub-categories like lights, wall hangings, paintings, and so on
