Join the HoloLens 2 App Challenge! Learn the basics of HoloLens development this month (no fees or device required)

  • Google Calendar ICS

If you've considered exploring HoloLens development, there has never been a better time to get started. During the month of January, you can join other learners committed to taking the first step by signing up for the HoloLens 2 App Development Fundamentals Challenge. When you join, you'll be assigned to one of four teams in a competition to see who will have the most learners complete the required training by January 31st. The training includes a series of hands-on exercises that will show you the basics of HoloLens 2 app development including how to:

• Configure Unity and set up a project with the Mixed Reality Toolkit
• Add hand interactions to manipulate objects
• Use solvers to create intelligent object placements
• Add buttons, dynamic menus and descriptions to objects
• Enable eye-tracking and voice commands
• Anchor objects to the real world
• Add spatial audio to an application
• Use speech recognition and transcription
• Integrate to cloud services like custom vision and bot services
• And much more

Don't have a device? That's okay. While it is always the most fun to interact with your holographic apps via HoloLens, you'll be able to learn the basics and view your progress in Unity's editor or by deploying to the HoloLens 2 Emulator. We suspect it will take around 6 hours to complete all of the exercises once the tools are installed and ready. The modular design of the training makes it's easy to pause and resume again at any time, however, so you'll have the flexibility to go at your own pace as long as you finish by the end of the month to help your team with the win.

If learning about MR is on your to-do list, don't delay! Join the Challenge and find yourself on the leaderboard getting a jump on your 2022 skilling goals.

Rendering Optimization Principles (online workshop)

VRARA Members use VRARA10 code to get 10% discount

Virtual Reality VR Workshop online.png

Hitting max frame rates is a major challenge. When it’s good, it’s glorious, and when it’s bad, it’s just the worst. Without great performance, user interface response is slow, making every user input feel choppy or delayed. Worst of all, fluctuating frame rates are a leading cause of nausea for users in AR and VR applications.

Rendering Performance guru Vivek Reddy earned his battle scars working as a Virtual Production Developer and Technical Director on The Lion King and Destiny and he is here to help you destroy jank and create XR apps that maintain smooth framerate performance.

In this workshop you will learn:

  • Techniques and common pitfalls to consider while achieving maximum performance across devices (especially mobile or VR/AR devices)

  • How to improve power and thermal efficiency while achieving maximum performance for your game or app. For VR developers, we know that maximizing the experience on a VR headset requires more than innovative technology and gameplay. It's equally affected by a game’s ability to manage power consumption and avoid overheating devices. These factors can impact a game’s success by limiting performance and making it unplayable.

  • How to analyze and optimize your games and applications by exposing detailed CPU, GPU, and system data to reveal your game’s power and performance characteristics

  • How to manage the rendering pipelines and uncover patterns that make it easy to build performant apps

  • How to identify and focus on where the performance bottlenecks really are. It’s easy to go down the wrong path and end up optimizing code that doesn’t improve the overall performance of your application

Actionable skills for:

  • Real-time 3D, game engine developers, tech artists, and designers

  • Visual enterprise application, simulation creators

  • Studio & agency creatives and technical directors

  • Game (from AAA to mobile) designers, producers

  • VR/AR enterprise, game, entertainment content creators (especially publishing for standalone XR devices like the Quest 2)

  • CG movie, animation production teams

  • Post-production, rendering service providers

Your Instructor:

Notably known for merging art and technology, Vivek Reddy has been working with filmmakers to bring them their complex thoughts to life. With a background in film-making, electronics, and Computer Science he has contributed to numerous films during production and post-production. With a Masters in Computer Science from the University of Pennsylvania, Vivek is an active advocate of making art using technology and has been heading a lecture series called "Engineering behind Hollywood." Recently Vivek helped in the development of Virtual Production Hardware and software for The Lion King.
