Schedule

Join us as we kick off Mixed Reality Dev Days 2022. We will talk about the event itself, introduce the MRDD Hackathon theme, and talk briefly about MRTK3.

Join us to learn about our new MRTK3. We’ll reflect on the driving factors in our journey from MRTK v2 to MRTK3, introduce key MRTK3 themes, give insights into our roadmap and explain how OpenXR is a key enabler going forward.

StereoKit is a lightweight, code-first, open-source library for building Mixed Reality experiences using C# and OpenXR! It provides easy APIs to address some of the most common and challenging aspects of development including UI, inputs, interactions, physics, shaders/material systems, working with text, asset loading, and much more. StereoKit is designed to work on HoloLens 2, desktop, or any VR device that uses the OpenXR runtime (e.g. Oculus Quest, Windows Mixed Reality, etc.). This talk contains an overview of StereoKit, an update on development, and a peek at the roadmap!

Learn how to use Unity’s XR Interaction Toolkit to build AR/VR applications with a common set of inputs that work across different platforms. Get a hands-on look at how to get started with a sample project, and find out what’s new in version 2.0, including some upcoming 2.1 features.

Welcome to MRTK3! Learn the nuts and bolts from empty project to running application with MRTK3. See how the new packaging workflow helps you pull in only the portions of MRTK3 you want into a new or existing Unity project, and then build your first simple application.

Join us for an in-depth look at using StereoKit to build an entire app! We'll walk through assembling a complete content creation tool, looking at how to build UI, work with hand inputs, and save/load content in Mixed Reality. Learn the tips and tricks that will make your development experience easier!

In this session, we will talk about the latest progress of OpenXR for Mixed Reality, as well as its integration to Unity, Unreal engines. We are also looking forward to the chance to directly interact with developers who are interested adopting OpenXR in their project, answer questions, and taking feedbacks.

Learn how the philosophies behind interaction in MR have changed for MRTK3, and the new ways users can interact with holograms and immersive UI.

A deep dive into how and why StereoKit works! This talk will give you insight into how StereoKit is built, and get a peek at the code that makes it run! This is a great talk for developers that are interested in tinkering or modifying StereoKit itself, or for developers that just want a better understanding of how things work under the hood.

Support for Windows Mixed Reality (including HoloLens) in the Unreal Engine is transitioning to OpenXR. Why. When (Now!). How. What app developers need to know.

Learn how to build immersive user interfaces for a wide variety of platforms with MRTK3, and how our evolved design language can help you build great Mixed Reality experiences.

In this session we will explore different ways deep learning models can and will be used in gaming. We will dive into different use cases, how to leverage existing open-source model zoos, and then demo how to use the new Neural Network Inference plugin that was released with Unreal Engine 5.
