What is the Microsoft Hololens?

The Hololens is Microsoft’s enterprise Mixed Reality Headset. Along with it comes developer tools and experiences used for instructional uses and more.

How do I use it for MR?

Microsoft provides the Mixed Reality Tool Kit (MRTK) which is a set of tools and components for building MR applications on the Windows Mixed Reality platform. It supports both Unity and Unreal Engine, providing a framework for creating immersive mixed reality experiences.

It is worth taking a read through the features offered throught the MRTK as it is a good reference for the affordances that current MR technologies could possibly offer in other headsets as well.
