MAIN PRESENTATION

Adapting Experiences for Virtual & Mixed Reality
Adina Shanholtz, Microsoft Technical Evangelist

The principles used for building a standard 3D experience fundamentally change when considering virtual & mixed reality. New devices, such as the Microsoft HoloLens, let users interact with digital content in relation to the real world, disrupting the way we build experiences. This session will explain how to consider these concepts during development as well as introduce the new medium of building 3D Mixed Reality applications & games using C#, Visual Studio, & Unity. Whether itching to build your own applications or enthusiastic about designing for these ever-changing virtual mediums, you'll walk away with the tools to build your own.
