Template for Holographic App ?

[gbhatt07]

Question:
Hello. If its possible to create a holographic app using Angle can you please provide a VS template. I tried to make changes in the template code for UWP Holographic app to have Angle and use opengl but got stuck. If not the template but just provide some guidance or the API/code flow, that would be of great help. Thank you.

Hi Guarav,

We do currently have experimental support for ANGLE on HoloLens. Heads-up that there are some changes you'll need to make to your app to get it to work, and you will also need to recompile ANGLE out of our experimental branch ms-holographic-experimental to get the holographic support.

• For an overview, and for instructions on getting started, see the README file.
• To see exactly what we changed for this branch, take a look at commit 5ff1ffca. This includes the changes for ANGLE, as well as the changes for the app template.

We are interested in potentially doing more with this. Are you able to share any details about the holographic apps that you would like to create using ANGLE?

Thanks,

Mike.

HI Mike,

Thanks for the info. Sure I will try to create the app using the new
experiment branch and update.
Right now I am just trying to create basic applications like rotating cube
etc and see if I can also use shaders etc as proof of concept but
eventually we have a visualization software from which we would like to
deploy its program/apps as hologram.

Thanks

Hi Guarav,

You may be in luck; the default spinning cube is up-and-running as a hologram in our experimental branch. It should be relatively straightforward to get started with that by using the included app template.

Visualization is a great application for holographic computing! Let us know how things go, and if you end up hitting any roadblocks with this.

Thanks again,
Mike.

HI Mike,

Yeah, I was able to run the default spinning cube and deploy it in
hololens. I will try to play around and have better understanding of the
APIs before trying to do the visualization apps and sure will ask for help
if I got stuck.
Thank you very much :)

Hi Guarav,

I believe this issue has now been resolved, since you were able to run the default spinning cube on a HoloLens. Please feel free to reactivate this issue if you are having problems here.

Thanks!

The templates works with Hololens emulator! Thanks
