HoloLens Tutorial – Finalize Spatial Understanding
Tutorial
Tutorial Updated for Unity 5.5.0f3
The HoloLens ecosystem is a fast moving target, and I noticed that my tutorial was already inaccurate in spots due to changes in both Unity and the HoloToolkit. I’ve updated the tutorial for the latest versions available as of today and I’ve also added the tested version to the index. Look for the rest of this tutorial to be completed during the beginning of 2017. Happy New Year everyone!
