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.

Acknowledgments

Even though there is only one name on the cover, a project such as this cannot be done without the help of a lot of other people. I am forever grateful for all those who have helped me get this project off the ground. First, a big thanks to all the people in the original Emerging Experiences MVP group--Josh, Tim, Andras, Andreas, Nicolas, Gian Paolo, Joanna, Bronwen, Dwight, and David. You guys rock! We were there where it all started.

A big thank you to my buddy James Ashley, another Rockstar EE MVP. We shared the stage, we did the training, and we shaped the future while having a nice steak and a couple of drinks. You've been a great source of inspiration for me. We need to spend more time together.

Of course, my parents, who bought me my first computer even though they couldn't really afford it--you got me on this path that I still love to travel on every single day.

My partner in crime at Interknowlogy Europe, Frank, whose passion for the HoloLens matches mine, and that says something!

Last but most definitely not least--my wonderful and amazing daughter, Emma, and my smart and beautiful wife, Diana--you were there all the time. All those days I was locked up writing this book, leaving you alone, all those time I didn't see the point anymore, you got me through. You always believed in me, no matter what I did. This book is as much yours as it is mine. I will love you forever!
