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.

Installing applications on HoloLens


After you have set up your devices for the enterprise, the next step is to install and distribute holographic applications onto those devices. As these target devices are enterprise devices, there are now multiple options to install or push applications to these devices. The simplest way is to use Windows Device Portal, as you have seen earlier in this book. The other way to install an application is to use Microsoft Store for Business.

Device Portal for application deployment

To deploy an application using Device Portal, the first thing you should have is an application package and all its dependencies packages. If you have packages, perform the following steps:

  1. Start Device Portal.
  2. Navigate to the Apps tab within Device Portal.
  3. Within the Install App section, click on the Browse button under the App package subsection.
  4. Select application package from the network path.
  5. Also add dependency packages if there are any.
  6. Click on Go; this will install the application...
