Welcome to the HoloLens!

Welcome to the future. We have been waiting for a long, long time but it is finally here. The book you hold in your hands would not have been possible half a decade ago. Well, that is not quite true; it was possible, but it would have been placed in the science fiction area, but not anymore. The fact that you are reading this right now is proof that changes are taking place at a tremendous pace, and before you know it you will be in a place you never thought possible.

Take a look at the famous quote by Arthur C. Clarke:

This is true for HoloLens as well. Nobody was able to predict this device a decade ago, and now you have it within your reach.

However, no matter how cool the device itself is, it needs a bit of magic to come alive, and that piece of magic is the software that we are going to write. The software and the software your peers think of is going to be the lifeblood of the device. Without it, the device is just a nice looking piece of hardware. With it, the device is capable of changing the world view for a lot of people. That being said, it is also a lot of fun to write software for the device, so why not get started?
