Book Description
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.
What you will learn
Interact with holograms using different interaction models
Develop your first holographic app
Integrate holographic applications with cloud systems
Visualize data feeds coming from the cloud through holograms
Manage the application distribution of enterprise-enabled HoloLens
Integrate HoloLens applications with services deployed on Azure
