Thanks to this Unity Package, users can project their OneDrive photos into the real world, using Microsoft HoloLens. Apart from HoloLens, this app requires a OneDrive account with albums of photos. The images can either be auto-generated or created by users. Holographic Photo Project lets users relive their memories in a much more immersive way. Here is what you can do with the new app:
“Link OneDrive albums to 3D, holographic “souvenirs” Place holographic souvenirs in your physical space View your photos in 3D photo arrangements Cycle through all the photos in your albums”
The new application comes with the following features:
“Photo Projections: Associate Holograms to your OneDrive Albums to view your photos in an immersive way, projected into the physical space around you. Carousel Mode: Gaze on a Hologram you’ve placed, to view the album in carousel mode. Select the Hologram to expand. Adjustment Mode: Customize your Holograms by moving, scaling, or rotating them in any way you like, to fit them into your space.”
