Explore the approach techniques and mindshift needed to design truly breakthrough experiences
for the Microsoft HoloLens and Windows Mixed Reality platform. Learn what's so different about
working with holograms how to think spatially and where to start designing your own
holographic projects. You'll move rapidly from initial concept to persuasive prototype-all
without the need for expensive tools or a designer's skill set. Designing for mixed reality is
a completely new experience for everyone involved and takes some experimentation to get right.
You won't nail your first mixed reality project by relying upon your previous mobile or web
design expertise as a guide. Mixed reality requires a different kind of design thinking for its
unique challenges. Breakthrough holographic design starts with envisioning-the act of
visualizing what could be. By rapidly depicting a desired experience and trying out its
real-world interactions you can quickly turn your initial vision into a tangible example of
innovative design. Envisioning Holograms digs into why holographic computing is the future
takes you through the mixed reality design process and gets you ready to take advantage of its
endless opportunities. Praise for the Book Envisioning Holograms is a guidebook for designing
our holographic future. You'll find the processes techniques and production tools needed to
design immersive products that will change how we work play and communicate. - Tony Parisi
Global Head of AR VR for Unity. Industry legend. Just as the pioneering work of E.S. Porter
helped define a new language for cinematic storytelling at the dawn of motion pictures
Envisioning Holograms provides us with the missing vocabulary and grammar to help define a new
design language for this world-changing medium of Mixed Reality. - Ori Inbar Founder and
Managing Partner for Super Ventures an AR VR fund. An exceptional introduction to a new way of
thinking about software. Envisioning Holograms is approachable to people just starting out and
also provides some excellent bits of insight to veterans that can help influence their creative
process. - Lucas Rizzotto award-winning creator of Mixed Reality experiences. Envisioning
Holograms is the perfect book for VR AR MR studios that are struggling with application design.
It is filled with strategies to acquire ideas develop and iterate through scenes and find the
best fit. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to create solid user experiences using
3D interfaces and spatial computing. - Rick King authority on the latest trends in AR VR and
MR development.What You'll Learn Understand what makes mixed reality a challenging design space
