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 cloud platform, and having both way communication with application and services. We also focused on how we can build a lightweight application by dynamically downloading assets and making them interactive on the fly. We have covered several interesting topics throughout this exercise; however, there are several enhancements that you can do to extend this solution, here are few of them.

Dynamic menu for products

This project has a fixed number of menu items (Three - TV, Light and Wall Paint); however, to extend your application and to match you real time need you can have make this menu dynamic with variable number and several types. You can achieve this by simply having another service call during the application launch which loads the list of products and generates the menu objects accordingly.

Adding Voice Command

You can extend this application by adding Voice Command...
