TRANSFORM THE WAYS YOU COMMUNICATE, CREATE, COLLABORATE, AND EXPLORE
USING MICROSOFT HOLOLENS
ABOUT THIS BOOK
* Create immersive augmented reality apps for Microsoft HoloLens from
scratch
* Leverage the powerful HoloLens sensors to interact with real-world
motions and gestures and make your app life-like
* Explore the powerful Unity 5 SDK along with the Windows Unified
platform to get the most out of your HoloLens app
WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR
If you are a developer who wants to create augmented reality apps for
the Microsoft HoloLens platform, then this is the book for you. Coding
experience with C# is assumed.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
* Design an app for HoloLens that is feasible and attractive to use
* Add gestures and interact with them
* Create sounds in the app and place them in a 3D space
* Use voice generation and voice recognition to make your apps more
lifelike
* Interact with the physical environment to place holograms on top of
physical objects
* Compare HoloLens with the other products and know how to use its
strengths
* Use assets from third parties to enrich our app
IN DETAIL
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.
STYLE AND APPROACH
This book takes a step-by-step, practical, tutorial-style approach
where you will dive deep into HoloLens app development. You will work
with the API and write your own complex scripts that would interact
with the powerful HoloLens sensors and with realistic examples, you
will be able to create immersive 3D apps for HoloLens.
