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.

HoloLens interaction and application model


So far, we have learned about the HoloLens device and the holograms in the MR world. HoloLens projects holograms and blend them into the real world to give an immersive experience using both virtual and real objects. What next? Now is the time to explore how to interact with these holograms to feel them as real as your real objects are. What are the different ways to interact with them?

In this section, we will cover the different ways of interacting with the holograms and the application life cycle for holographic applications.

Interacting with holograms

There are basically five ways that you can interact with holograms and HoloLens. Using your Gaze, Gesture, and Voice and with Spatial Audio and Spatial Mapping. Spatial Mapping provides a detailed illustration of the real-world surfaces in the environment around HoloLens. This allows developers to understand the digitalized real environments and mix holograms into the world around you. Gaze is the...
