Hello!

2 days ago someone I asked about the best way to create a hologram and place it in the real world using Hololens. Some time ago, I wrote a post with the step by step on how to do this with URHOSharp, and today will go over the steps to do it with the HoloToolkit.

In previous posts I have already commented on how to create a project in Unity3D and how to import the HoloToolkit. From here, the following steps would be

• Delete the default assets Main camera and Directional light
• Save the scene
• Adjust the values required to run project of Unity as UWP in Hololens
  • Project Settings / Player
  • Project Settings / Quality
  • File / Build Settings
• Import HoloToolkit
• Search in the Holotookit assets and add the following assets
  • MainCamera
  • Spatial Mapping
  • Cursor with Feedback
• Add an Empty Game, I usually name this one Managers, and add the following components
  • Gaze Manager
  • Gaze Stabilizer
  • Gesture Manager
  • Hands Manager
  • World Anchor Manager
• Add an Empty Game, I usually name this one HoloCollection
  • Add a hologram in the same
  • Add the following components to the hologram
    • World Anchor Manager
    • Tap to Place

The output is similar to the following video, where we can see how the gesture AirTap select a hologram, I move in the space shown with Spatial Mapping and another gesture AirTap position it.

That’s it for today: I’ve left the step by step and now do not forget me more!
