Imaginary friend Part 2: Breathing life into a holographic character
Last year we brought our imaginary friend to life with HoloLens. This year we will take it a step further and try to breath even more life into our holographic friend. This will involve the use of the GPT-3 language model. Just like last year, the development will be based on Unity and the MixedRealityToolKit (MRTK).
Bringing your imaginary friend to life with HoloLens
As children we all experienced having an imaginary friend. In this session we will bring that childhood dream to life by creating a holographic version of him. We will look at how HoloLens allows us to interact with a holographic character. Development will be based on Unity and the MixedRealityToolKit (MRTK).
First hand experiences with the HoloLens 2
Direct hand interaction is one of the major new features of the new HoloLens. In this session we will examine the design implications for supporting hand interaction in HoloLens applications. And we will also take a look at how the Mixed Reality ToolKit (MRTK) helps us with developing for this new way of interacting with holograms.
