Unite Berlin Keynote (and Upcoming Free Webinar)

Unity had the Unite Berlin conference and in the keynote they talked about a lot of cool things.

You can see what I considered the most important bits here.

Also, I’ll be doing a live webinar next Wednesday at 2PM ET. It will talk about mixed reality and HoloLens development and talk about some of the new opportunities for developers.

Head to https://LearnHoloLens.com/webinar to signup.

SharePoint spaces–Mixed Reality for the Enterprise

On Monday, Microsoft had the SharePoint Conference and in the keynote they introduced SharePoint spaces.

SharePoint spaces brings Mixed Reality to the enterprise. The reason why I’m talking about this is because it shows that Microsoft is planning on utilizing the immersive headsets in the enterprise and not just in the consumer market.

SharePoint spaces will be utilizing WebVR and BabylonJS, which makes sense, because SharePoint is a website building tool. Many enterprises utilize SharePoint for their company intranet’s.

If you are on the fence about digging into Mixed Reality and HoloLens development, this should tip you on over to the side of actually doing something to start learning this new way of development.

Head over to LearnHoloLens.com and sign up to learn what you need to develop mixed reality games, apps, and experiences for the HoloLens. This information is the very similar to what you need for the immersive headsets as well.

HoloLens European Inventor Award

Last week I saw a video from the European Inventor Award that I thought was worth sharing.

One interesting bit they mentioned is…

“Experts are predicting that over the next 4 years, so by 2022, that the market for mixed reality applications will grow to over 70 Billion Euros.”

The opportunity here is pretty large, so don’t miss it!

In fact, I made a quick video talking about it.
