Developer highlights

Here are some insights into the development of this app for Microsoft HoloLens that will help as you start creating your own.

Capturing panoramic video

Use off-the-shelf cameras to capture 360-degree video or build on stock 360-degree footage.

Creating depth

Use near-field holograms to add depth and parallax to 360-degree video so the destination feels real.

Detecting interest

Knowing how long the user looks at something lets you redirect their attention or offer new details.

Self-contained device

Take advantage of untethered movement. Encourage users to move around and inspect details.
