How to Get Earth's Map and create a Hololen App ?
Hi ,
I want to get involved in the HoloLens project and I need some information from experts.
I want to create a hololen app were it will show Earth and I will display in coordinates (we don't care right now to which coordinates) some static icons. Consider that I have already VS2015 , Unity account (if it is necessary) and the rest of the tools etc.
From where do I start ?
Do I need Unity ? Meaning that I need to learn Unity ?
Also I have seen GalaxyMaster project which is very nice but very advanced and not needed such an advanced project.
Just need a Map and diplay some things using Hololen technology.
Can anyone guide me on this ?
thank you

Best way is to create your project in Unity first (Yes, you have to learn Unity). If you can't get your 3d-models from somewhere, you also have to learn how to use Blender, or another tool, to create them.
There are other options than using Unity. For instance this sample.
