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.
