Preface

With the introduction of the Microsoft HoloLens, the world has started to think about computing in a whole new way. Now, we are not locked inside a virtual world in either an enclosed device or on a screen, but we are able to mix the real world with anything that our minds can come up with in a virtual world. This opens up a lot of new exciting ways to create new immersive experiences.

The big question is, of course, how do you as a developer, designer, or an out-of-the-box thinker create these experiences? In this book, you will learn all you need to know to create stunning three-dimensional apps that run on the mixed reality platform. We will cover the basics, but will also show you how to get advanced work done. We will start simple but work our way deep into the inner workings of HoloLens. After reading this book, you will be ready to surprise the world with apps that do what most people consider still to be science fiction.
