Class Description
During this 2-day hands-on, instructor-led course Participants will design a complete project, using Unity and Visual Studio, learning how to develop content and applications for the core Windows Holographic Platform and HoloLens features such as gaze and gesture controls, voice input, spatial sound and spatial mapping, and color design for holograms. A Microsoft Hololens is used and demonstrated in the class, and each student will get to experience it. The Microsoft Hololens emulator is used for most exercises.
