Why develop for mixed reality?
Develop for AR, VR, and everything in between
Mixed reality blends the physical and digital worlds, and Windows Mixed Reality supports two device types with similar technology on that spectrum: HoloLens and immersive (VR) headsets with motion controllers.
WHAT IS MIXED REALITY?
Learn one set of tools, build for many devices
The software, APIs and core building blocks are shared across Windows Mixed Reality, so you can invest in one platform to build experiences for HoloLens, VR headsets, or even experiences that target both.
INSTALL THE TOOLS
Create VR apps for groundbreaking devices
Your VR experiences run on mixed reality headsets with a range of price points and features. Build UWP apps for the Microsoft Store, or Win32 apps for SteamVR.
