HoloLens 101: First experiences with holographic computing
summary
Microsoft HoloLens is an untethered Windows 10 PC with a dedicated Holographic Processing Unit and a battery life of a few hours; it maps rooms, remembers anchors and supplies spatial audio. Development uses Unity + Visual Studio targeting Universal Windows Platform; the demo shows a gaze raycast cursor that toggles materials, a tap gesture that enables rigidbody gravity and adds force, and deployment over IP. Key numbers: lag >20 ms causes sickness, aim for 60 fps, default near clip 30 cm changed to 50 cm. Demos like Tire Explorer and a chemical-plant model run and work.
