Lessons from a real HoloLens project

on YouTube ↗59m

" summary

A HoloLens app is built in six weeks for an airline with a 12–20 person team using Unity3D, the open‑source Mixed Reality Toolkit, and image tracking from Vuforia to lock a tabletop diorama; the full A380 model is scaled to about 1/20 so users can walk around it. Development uses prefabs to avoid scene merge hell, Timeline/Director to sequence noninteractive demos, custom GPU shaders for effects, and careful avoidance of transparency and large on‑screen pixel counts to keep performance acceptable.
