New to mixed reality development?
Learn the concepts, products, and services
Start at the very beginning with an overview of what mixed reality is and how it differs from virtual and augmented reality. Learn about the HoloLens, immersive headsets, and holograms. Explore basic design and development concepts and related technologies such as Azure Remote Rendering.
Start building a mixed reality experience
If you're already familiar with the basic concepts and want to get started building something, check out our "HoloLens 2 Fundamentals" tutorial series. You'll build a mixed reality experience where the user can explore a hologram modeled after NASA's Mars Curiosity Rover. This tutorial series gives you a firm grasp of MRTK and shows you how it can speed up your development process.
Note
HoloLens development tools will no longer receive updates after February 28th, 2026.
