Hello everyone.
The Mixed Reality Forums here are no longer being used or maintained.
There are a few other places we would like to direct you to for support, both from Microsoft and from the community.
The first way we want to connect with you is our mixed reality developer program, which you can sign up for at https://aka.ms/IWantMR.
For technical questions, please use Stack Overflow, and tag your questions using either hololens or windows-mixed-reality.
If you want to join in discussions, please do so in the HoloDevelopers Slack, which you can join by going to https://aka.ms/holodevelopers, or in our Microsoft Tech Communities forums at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/mixed-reality/ct-p/MicrosoftMixedReality.
And always feel free to hit us up on Twitter @MxdRealityDev.

Is there a map where HoloLens owners, users, and developers can show their location?
in Discussion
I'd like a map on which we can voluntarily indicate ourselves, and preferably with the ability to indicate our role(s) as user, Unity developer, c++ developer -- a few choices like that.
This would really help those of us interested in meeting others for collaboration and sharing.

I received no answers so I created a Q&D Google Map, publicly accessible (no security), onto which anyone here may pin themselves. It does appear to require that you've logged into a Google account to edit.

I intended this for the US so that those of us on the continent may know of others in our areas.

Good idea!
Thanks Druid
Not to pop a bubble but mapping out the owners of a $3000 dev kit to a publicly accessible map doesn't sound like the best idea...... how about you do something more like a pinned post on the reddit forum where developers can make themselves known anonymously by city and can be PM'd by others who are interested in partnering
@huntertank, that's why the map is by choice and encourages entering one's approximate location. My location is deliberately not precise.
This map is just to show general locations and help us see who nearby also has the hardware, in case we want to collaborate.
You can create an alternative and mention it here.
I think that the HoloLens has been selling for $5k - $6k on some sites, fetching $14.9k on one. A stolen one would be fairly conspicuous and likely traceable unless the thief were able to break its software, which might be undesirable.
Already it looks like Knoxville or Asheville could be future meetup sites.
we are very spread out
Pinned my pin. I'm so ronery.
Google technologies to the rescue where Microsoft developers are simply trying to get together to learn. I wish I could be more optimistic here, being a Microsoft Technologies developer, but again today tried to use that POS technology called Cortana. Cortana sucks.
