Overview of this book

Are you a developer who is fascinated with Microsoft HoloLens and its capabilities? Do you want to learn the intricacies of working with the HoloLens SDK and create your own apps? If so, this is the book for you. This book introduces and demystifies the HoloLens platform and introduces new ways you can interact with computers (Mixed Reality). It will teach you the important concepts, get you excited about the possibilities, and give you the tools to continue exploring and experimenting. You will go through the journey of creating four independent examples throughout the book, two using DirectX and two using Unity. You will learn to implement spatial mapping and gesture control, incorporate spatial sound, and work with different types of input and gaze. You will also learn to use the Unity 5 SDK for HoloLens and create apps with it. Collectively, the apps explore the major concepts of HoloLens, but each app is independent, giving you the flexibility to choose where to start (and end).

Interacting with Holograms Using Unity

Chapter 9. Deploying Your Apps to the HoloLens Device and Emulator

In this final (and brief) chapter, we will wrap up by discussing the details of deploying your application to the emulator and device. Whether you are developing using Unity or DirectX, the path is similar once the project has been exported to a Visual Studio project from Unity and most of our discussion will be focused on this. But before this, we will cover the Holographic Emulation and Holographic Remoting built into Unity. In this chapter, you will learn about the following:

  • Using the Holographic Emulation and Holographic Remoting built into Unity 
  • Deploying and making use of the HoloLens emulator 
  • Deploying to the device 
  • Windows Device Portal
