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

HoloLens and live streaming


Sports and entertainment are two of the industries where HoloLens and MR can play a major role. Some of the mixed reality scenarios in the sports industry can be around players' training and game simulations. In the entertainment industry, the holographic scenario can be around content visualization. However, one scenario that is common in both industries is the live streaming of events and videos. There are different ways to consume videos and visualize videos, and HoloLens is one of them.

The scenario could be that a live sports or entertainment event is happening and it's being captured or recorded by 360-degree cameras. This live streaming of video can happen using Azure Media Services, and distant users can have a near real-time live experience of viewing that video on HoloLens.

Visualizing live streaming using HoloLens

Solution

To achieve this scenario, we can leverage Azure Media Services to set up the streaming channel, which will be used to publish video...
