HoloLens video schools developers on what they’ll ‘need to know’

Hardware is going through the first phase of a shift from desktops and smartphones to, maybe, virtual and augmented reality. And Microsoft wants to help developers get involved as soon as possible.

With the goal of bringing in more developers to work on its augmented reality HoloLens headset, Microsoft has a new video that should help designers and engineers understand the knowledge they’ll need before starting a project with the futuristic device. Augmented reality — often referred to as “mixed reality” — is a process that combines digital imagery with the real world. This enables HoloLens wearers to interact with important apps, software, and tools while also simultaneously having the freedom to walk around and work with others.
