Unity Editor to build 3D Mixed Reality apps, including setting up scenes,
adding built-in and custom 3D objects, and formatting these objects with
materials to create holograms. Afterward, you will learn how to make your
holograms behave like real objects with various physics simulations and to
interact with these holograms through air gestures and voice commands.
Next, you will learn how to attach augmented reality to real objects with
Vuforia. Finally, you will build a Mixed Reality app with UrhoSharp—a
library for writing cross-platform 3D apps. This will enable you to transfer
your skills to other platforms, such as iOS or Android.
Audience and Expected Skills
This book is devoted to developers, students, engineers, enthusiasts,
designers, scientists, and researchers who would like to use their existing
programming skills to develop software for Windows Mixed Reality
(HoloLens and immersive headsets) with Unity, Vuforia, and UrhoSharp. I
assume the reader knows fundamental aspects of C# programming and is
experienced in Windows programming. I do not, however, assume any
previous knowledge of Unity, Vuforia, or UrhoSharp.
Tools and Required Hardware
To implement all examples presented in this book, you will need a system
that runs Windows 10 (Creators Update or later) and uses Visual Studio 2017
Community as the development environment.
Organization of This Book
The book is divided into three parts:
Part I: Fundamentals Chapters 1 through 3 introduce Mixed Reality in
Windows 10, define all related terms, show you how to prepare your
development environment, and explain possible approaches to
developing apps for Windows Mixed Reality.
Part II: Developing 2D UWP Apps Chapters 4 through 7 cover 2D app
development with a special focus on Universal Windows Platform
(UWP) programming interfaces. Programmers familiar with UWP can
easily port their existing apps to new holographic or Mixed Reality
