Overview of this book

HoloLens revolutionizes the way we work and interact with the virtual world. HoloLens brings you the amazing world of augmented reality and provides an opportunity to explore it like never before. This is the best book for developers who want to start creating interactive and intuitive augmented reality apps for the HoloLens platform. You will start with a walkthrough of the HoloLens hardware before creating your first app. Next you will be introduced to the various HoloLens sensors and find out how to program them efficiently so that they can interact with the real world seamlessly. Moving on, you will learn how to create smart animations and add video overlay that implements real-time tracking and motion-sensing abilities to your HoloLens app. Finally, you will learn how to test your app effectively.

Profiling and fixing performance


Profilers, while they are technically still debuggers, are designed to debug a different element and from a completely different perspective. A profiler is a much lower-level debugging system that is looking at performance and what is attributed to the performance as it stands during execution.

Like standard debuggers, these tools can easily give you insights that lead to finding solutions to high-level problems, but will generally help you determine why your application is running at 14 FPS instead of 60.

HoloLens Developers Portal

There is a tool built right into HoloLens that does a great job of letting you see how your application is running. It displays SoC (system-on-chip) power, system power, Frame Rate, GPU, CPU, input/output, network, and memory. On most of the HoloLens projects I work with this, as this is the first test to perform when performance is not great.Let's take a look at System Performance:
