To understand the differences between virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and MR, see this article.Īs I said above, I am not a designer, nor will I ever be. One of the traps of mixed reality (MR) is that it is easy to get caught in a project purely based on “wow” factor and creating an experience that either has no commercial aspect or no solid use case beyond the initial user experience, and in fact is not an actual MR experience. Therefore, for the purpose of these articles, holograms refer to 3D holograms, unless otherwise explicitly called out. Even though these are valid 2D holograms and work exactly as you expect them to, they don’t require as much of the tools and techniques in this article series, as 3D holograms do. You can have movies playing on the wall, internet browsers hanging in mid-air or Skype calls follow you as you walk around the space you are in. Sitepoint also has a range of articles on Unity development here.Įven though the Microsoft HoloLens is a device to project 3D holograms into your physical world, 2D holograms are perfectly valid implementations as well.
If you are a 3D artist wanting to get into the space of holographic experiences and want assistance with the software development side of things, get in touch with me or read through this series to get an idea of what is involved.
This first part focuses on creating all of the assets needed to start the project and, as I am a developer myself, will be focused on helping developers get started. This series of articles will take you through the basics of starting a HoloLens app, some of the pitfalls to look out for and how to make the most out of the project for the entire universal Windows platform (UWP).
