This repository hosts sample applications for mixed reality projects on Unreal Engine 4. (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/unreal-development-overview)
- The HoloLens2Example project is a simple app that allows you to spawn Paragon minions on the surface of your world and store their locations with persistent anchors
- The Chess App is the final result of the Unreal + UX Tools tutorial located on the Microsoft Mixed Reality docs
This is a simple HoloLens 2 app built with Unreal Engine 4.24 that demonstrates:
- Basic articulated hand tracking-based interactions in the form of fingertip cursor and pushable buttons
- Spatial mapping and collision understanding
- Launching, saving and loading persistent anchors in the world
Make sure you have Unreal Engine 4.24 or later installed on your computer.
- If you do not have a HoloLens 2 device, first follow the App Packaging Instructions and then follow the Emulator Quickstart Instructions to deploy the app to the HoloLens 2 Emulator
- If you have a HoloLens 2 device and want to run the app on device, first follow the App Packaging Instructions and then follow the Device Quickstart Instructions to deploy the app to your HoloLens 2
- If you have a HoloLens 2 device and want to stream the app to device, follow the Streaming Quickstart Instructions to stream the app from the Unreal editor to your HoloLens 2
Press the "Spawn" button to bring up the launch pin. The launch pin is steered by head gaze, aiming at a horizontal planar surface will allow you to airtap to place a character anchor. Pressing "Save Pins" will store the anchors to the device. Pressing "Clear Pins" will delete the anchor information stored on device (but will not remove current live anchors). If the app is closed and/or reset, pressing "Load Pins" will restore the saved characters and anchors.
On the Emulator, you can also use key presses to trigger the buttons. Make sure you uncheck "Use keyboard for simulation" in the simulation control panel first. Press 1 for "Spawn", 2 for "Save Pins", 3 for "Clear Pins", and 4 for "Load Pins".
