HoloLens 2: Avatars reach out and touch
I'm excited to show you, our fellow developers, how we at Spatial have been able to enrich our existing holographic collaboration app with the [UNKNOWN] two, [UNKNOWN] Azure Spatial Anchors, Microsoft graph, and teams.
We were really blown away by how quick and easy it was to use these simple APIs to make Spatial even more useful for our customers by leveraging the power that Microsoft Graph that they are already running their businesses on.
For example, we're gonna show you how our customer Mattel ideates, designs, and collaborates across global borders on multiple brands that we all know and love like Hot Wheels, Barbie, and Fisher Price.
Let's take a look.
So I'm gonna jump onto my PC here and I'm already in a Teams channel.
And I can see Amanda's posted some cool new content, but why don't we upgrade this to a live spatial meeting to get everyone under the same page?
I'm actually just gonna click over to the Spatial tab in teams and I get this really cool 3D dollhouse view.
I'm gonna click into the room where I can see everybody.
But since I have a HoloLens 2 here, why don't I take this off a 2D screen into a 3D meeting?
All I have to is scan the QR code in the corner.
I'm gonna put on the device and scan the code, here we go.
Oops, hey, Amanda, what's up?
It looks like you're already in here Yep I'm here in my office also wearing a Halloween [UNKNOWN].
So you'll see me in the room show up as an avatar and all of our content that you just saw from that team [UNKNOWN] is already up here on the wall.
You can even see some of the comments thanks to the Microsoft Graph API.
Cool.
And, with the new finger hand tracking in HoloLens 2, it's so easy to quickly triage content.
So, I can quickly just grab a document off the wall and toss it right up there on our shared workspace so we can all take a look.
And, if I want Amanda to check out something,
I can just pull it off the wall and toss it to her.
What do you think of that one, Amanda?
Wow.
That looks great.
And just to recap what happened here, I grabbed a holographic image on the wall as a real person in this room and threw it to an avatar who could be anywhere in the world.
Wow this is awesome.
Now with the new hand tracking capabilities in the mixed reality tool kit I can also have this cool new hand dock.
So let's pull it up and it helps me pull up content from a variety of locations.
Like my One Drive I'm just gonn scroll the 3D models that are stored on it and select Sky Justice.
There we go.
And let's make this life size.
And zoom this up a little bigger.
And you know, Amanda, I'm thinking, why don't we show off a new free-hand annotation capabilities and give her some accessories?
Absolutely, I think she really could use a bracelet.
And of course, the finishing touch, a hololens.
Everyone needs a holo lens.
Awesome.
Hey Lynn, it looks like Lynn just joined.
Hey everyone.
I love this.
Joining from my PC I'm still able to participate in the experience even without a holo lens.
So are you ready to see what I've been working on?
Yeah let's check it out.
Since I've joined from my laptop via the spacial tab and teams you saw early, I can easily browse and upload content directly from my PC and upload it to the meeting.
Check out this 3D model of a hover pack.
This cool.
You know Amanda, since this is mix reality, why don't you jump in and give it a spin?
Of course, let's try it out.
[BLANK_AUDIO]
Wow, it's even cooler on the inside.
LAUGH] Now, Spacial's a hardware-agnostic platform.
You don't need just a headset to join the experience.
Let me invite Jake up onto the stage.
Now, he's gonna show you how you can join from the device in your pocket.
This is so dope, I love it, great work Glen.
With Azure Facial Anchors this mixed reality experience shares a map across hollow lens and AR kit and AR core.
This means I can have the most immersive experience on a hollow lens or I can use this Android phone here to not only to see what everyone else is seeing But actively participate and modify the content as well.
Nice.
Thanks guys solid meeting and really looking forward to showing this the rest of the team tomorrow.
Now if you haven't done so already, I would really encourage you to integrate your app with the Microsoft Graph.
All we had to do to make this whole experience a reality for our customers like Mattel was connect with one simple, unified API that leverages all the power of Microsoft 365 And developers if you've been waiting to jump aboard the mixed reality train now is the time because the Hollands 2 is sweet.
You can now reach out and touch holograms for the first time and it is so cool.
Add on the power of [UNKNOWN] spacer anchors and you get the ability to extend your experience to any device.
So AR developers can embrace AR regardless of the device they choose, whether it's Hollands, Mobile, or anything in between
