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.

Idea board

hi everyone,

Is there a place where one could post an idea for HoloLens?

I have a few ideas, but I am not a developer so most likely my ideas will never be brought to life unless I share them with someone.

Is this a good place to share them? Or is this more of a support page?

Please let me know?

    Thank you for your replay.

    I have a few ideas:
    1. Immersive language learning system, where the environment around the user will be labeled by HL and by clicking on different things you could learn pronunciation. It could utilize virtual presence too.
    2. Search and rescue in collapsed buildings where the firefighter could have HL build into the helmet and it will show him the way out and the crew outside what the situation is.
    3. HL could be used as a training solution for Policeman in the academy or as a navigation tool for back up units in a highway chase, many uses here.

    I have some other ideas too, that is why I was asking for a board to publish them on.

    Did you participate in the Galaxy Explorer project? https://microsoftstudios.com/hololens/editors-notes/

    The project is intended to teach HoloLens programming using Unity. Do you intend to develop the ideas you mentioned yourself? Otherwise what role do you see yourself playing?

    I am not a developer so I did not participate in this project. I am also not going to develop those tools myself.

    My background is in project management and business analysis. I would see myself as a SME or a consultant, a early beta tester who will provide feedback one the experience and explore potential new features.

    I just think that it would be super cool if someone would take my ideas or even part of them and bring them to life.

    You are right, I guess it all comes to the amount of effort it is required. Product like this will probably need months of dev and testing. No one will invest time without knowing if there is a business case behind the product.

    One great venue for connecting ideas with people and talent would be local user groups in your area.

    Check out the list of user groups on the Community page and if you don't see one nearby you consider starting one.

    Meeting others who share an interest in this platform in a face to face environment is a great way to find the people with the complimentary skills that can help make ideas into reality.
