Microsoft zieht Entwicklerkonferenz in Virtual Reality um

Update vom 12. Mai:

Microsoft hat das Programm für die Mixed Realiy Dev Days in Altspace VR veröffentlicht. Die Keynote hält Microsofts MR-Chef und Hololens-Projektleiter Alex Kipman. Ein Großteil der Sessions dreht sich wie erwartet um Hololens 2 - das bestätigt, dass Microsofts Mixed-Reality-Strategie derzeit klar auf Augmented Reality fokussiert ist.

Time	Session Title	Speaker	Description
9:30am - 10:30am	Fireside Chat	Alex Kipman & Rene Schulte
10:30am - 11:00am	Break
11:00am - 12:00pm	Designing AR/VR experiences using Microsoft Maquette	Ricardo Acosta & Jia Wang	Designing a phone app or a website has a well defined workflow. Unfortunately, due to its novelty designing spatial reality experiences can be tricky if you use the same 2D workflow or toolset. Luckily, the new Microsoft Maquette app focuses on helping UX designers to design.
11:00am - 12:00pm	MRTK Unity v2 & beyond - How community feedback helped us improve MRTK	Bernadette Thalhammer	A talk about how we've improved the developer experience over the last year by listening to feedback from the community and how developers can leverage some these improvements. We will dive into documentation and unit testing, the new object manipulator component, using the migration window and will explore some code snippets around our most frequently asked questions from the dev community.
11:00am - 12:00pm	Dark Slope's Unreal Engine plugin for the Azure Kinect DK	Ben Unsworth - Dark Slope
12:00pm - 1:00pm	Lunch
1:00pm - 2:00pm	Building Data Driven Mixed Reality Applications	Aysegul Yonet	Data Driven Applications give the ability to incorporate data into an application as well as dynamically share real time operations data. When used in Mixed Reality, Data visualizations can enable analysis and insights from the data to help with decision making process in the right place and right context. How Data visualization can help making sense of our data is clear to most of us but how to turn data into useful visualizations and get actionable insights is not a straight forward task. In this talk, we will explore the processes, design decisions as well as technical tools and examples of creating insightful data driven mixed Reality applications.
1:00pm - 2:00pm	Building Immersive MR Experiences with Babylon.js and WebXR	Jason Carter	Discover how easy and powerful it can be to develop MR experiences directly on the web. Babylon.js strives to be one of the most powerful, beautiful, simple, and open web rendering platforms in the world, making it easy to unlock full MR capabilities across platforms, devices, and ecosystems. Come check out the latest developments of Babylon.js and its support of WebXR.
1:00pm - 2:00pm	Using Project Acoustics with HoloLens 2	Mike Chemistruck	See how Project Acoustics, previously only available for VR and Console titles, can be applied to Mixed Reality! Learn how the system recreates real-world effects such as diffracted occlusion and re-direction of sounds around physical doorways and corners, and reverberation in complex geometries with multiple connected spaces, all within the compute budget of a HoloLens 2.
2:00pm - 2:30pm	Break
2:30pm - 3:30pm	Holographic Remoting - Rapid iteration & supercharged graphics on HoloLens	Brent Jackson	HoloLens delivers a revolutionary mobile computing platform like no other, but it?s limited to the processing power of a mobile device. Holographic remoting brings the raw power of a VR capable computer to HoloLens, and with Unity in-editor remoting you no longer have to build and deploy your apps to test them on device. Learn how Holographic remoting can increase the performance of your applications, and your developers.
2:30pm - 3:30pm	OpenXR on HoloLens 2: Cross-platform native mixed reality	Alex Turner	OpenXR 1.0 is here! Are you building mixed reality support into your own engine or native app from the ground up? If so, learn about the key details of the OpenXR native API surface, the extensions that bring the full feature set of HoloLens 2 to life, and the partners from Firefox Reality to StereoKit already shipping apps and frameworks built on OpenXR! With OpenXR, you can build cross-vendor mixed reality engines and native apps that span the breadth of devices in the industry!
2:30pm - 3:30pm	Introducing StereoKit - MR Made Easy!	Nick Klingensmith	StereoKit is an easy-to-use open source mixed reality library for building HoloLens and VR applications with C# and OpenXR! StereoKit prioritizes mixed reality application development above all else, allowing for features such as a first class mixed reality input system, fast performance by default even on mobile devices, quick iteration time on-device, and a runtime asset pipeline that lets users and developers load real assets from the file-system. All of this and more are packaged in a terse API that?s well documented, easy to learn, and easy to write!
2:30pm - 3:30pm	Tips from a Year of HoloLens 2 Development	Peter Vale	The HoloLens commercialization team will share tips and lessons learned from the past year working with our partners. Gain insight into the most common issues along with best practices and techniques that you can use to get your HoloLens 2 application ready to share with your customers.
