Microsoft HoloLens Prototyping
The New Brunswick Community College – Centre for Applied Research in Mobile & Ubiquitous Computing
The NBCC Mobile First Technology initiative (MFTi) develops mixed reality applications for the Microsoft HoloLens, which is, according to the company, "the first self-contained, holographic computer".
Research topics
augmented reality, Microsoft HoloLens, mixed reality
MFTi has developed a number of prototypes for the HoloLens since Q4 2016. Two demo videos are provided below. Our work on this device lead to the development of an advanced prototype as part of our Integration of Mixed Reality and GPS-based Positioning to Support Public Works Applications project.
