HoloLens 2 Hand Tracking and UI
Beginner | $1,485 USD | 5 weeks
Starting with Circuit Stream’s HoloLens Hand Tracking Playground project, learners will explore the three standard methods of hand tracking interactions: direct manipulation (reaching out and touching holograms with your hands), hand rays (shooting a beam from your hand to interact with far away objects), and gestures (moving your hand into specific poses to interact). Throughout the course we’ll explore Microsoft’s Mixed Reality Toolkit’s UI controls and work to understand which controls are appropriate when, and what the limitations of each are.
Course Overview
Live Online Tutorials
3Hours of
Lessons/week
Courses are taught live twice a week for 90 minutes each. By the end of the course, learners will be fully prepared to build their robust hand tracking interfaces for their own app.
Office Hours
2Sessions
/week
Office hours are held live twice a week for 90 minutes and are intended to give students support as they progress throughout the course.
Students are encouraged to bring questions which will be answered in real time. Troubleshooting, code logic, insights into design and more.
