Controlling your HoloLens remotely

The HoloLens Device Portal lets you manage and configure your device remotely over a network. You can connect, deploy apps, and capture and view real-time MR data using the HoloLens Device Portal. It has also advanced diagnostic tools to help you troubleshoot and view the real-time performance of your Holographic app.

The HoloLens Device Portal is like the Windows Device Portal and is available for each device family. It is a web server on your device that you can connect to from a web browser on your PC when running on the same network.

To enable access to the device portal, you must enable the Developer Mode by turning on the Remote Management access from the Settings|Updates & Security|For Developer.

Once the device setup is done, you can access the device portal in your computer browser just using your HoloLens device IP address. The following screenshot shows a first glimpse of your HoloLens Device Portal:

The Device Portal has several interesting features including network simulation and virtual input acceptance.
