Microsoft HoloLens Developer???s Guide

By: Dennis Vroegop

Overview of this book

HoloLens, Microsoft’s innovative augmented reality headset, overlaps holograms into a user’s vision of their environment. Your ideas are closer to becoming real when you can create and work with holograms in relation to the world around you. If you are dreaming beyond virtual worlds, beyond screens, beyond pixels, and want to take a big leap in the world of augmented reality, then this is the book you want. Starting off with brainstorming and the design process, you will take your first steps in creating your application for HoloLens. You will learn to add gestures and write an app that responds to verbal commands before gradually moving on creating sounds in the app and placing them in a 3D space. You will then communicate between devices in the boundaries of the UWP model.

We are the centerpiece of a rock band and, as such, personally responsible for giving the best show we can.

For years, we have done this in the same way. We have a fixed setup on the stage. After all, having your own spot on the stage helps with stage fright. All those different venues can be intimidating; that feeling can be taken away with having your own spot.

However, when every show all over the world uses the same setup, it is not likely that we are using the possibilities of the venue to its fullest. Every room or stadium has its own acoustics and layout. In order to give the best sound possible and to give the audience the best view of each member of the band, we need to redesign the stage...
