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.

Surgical/Medical tool hololens app. Advice?

So I'm a amateur programmer working with a surgeon to build a prototype software. We need it to share medical data between other hololenses in the operating room. I am really stuck on this and am looking for resources to learn. Or I am looking to hire someone more experienced. Does anyone know where to look for hiring?

  • I am a highly experienced C# developer with MCP, MCTS .NET qualification and have ship multiple products. I do not have Hololens but am getting started with VIVE development and would be interested to work on this -- if provided a Hololens dev kit for me to keep. I might need 2 for the development though.

    As for sharing the data, it depends on how much data you need to share. You could possibly share the data via the internet or by creating a shared model. If you can't use the internet then you'd need to create a server which is more complex.

    I'm assuming you are using Unity? engine. It has support for multiplayer. You could try to build on that. If the data is simple such as screen shots then you would be able to access a shared repository/host for that type of data.

    If the data is too big to share in that way or certain laws/regulations prohibit it then you would need to basically load the model onto every device first and then you'd create a marker system that could be shared or a model representational system. You might even be able to setup a one drive and have your app read from the representational/folder system.

    As for resources, I don't think many developers will have these yet. But you could look on the Unity Engine Forums or ask over at Stackoverflow/Stackexchange.

  • Hi... I am most interested in assisting. I do own a holoLens and I think teaming up with Curtis could help you greatly... You are welcome to contact me by writing to paul@terrasame.com

  • Hey guys,
    I wanted to touch base and see how you were going with this project? The medical field is very near and dear to my heart and I would be delighted to support it in anyway I can. Please touch base - oliver.odell@rea-group.com

  • I have done DICOM visualization on HoloLens and a framework in Unty3D for peer to peer shared holographic experiences with several commercial projects under the belt. imran@danglingconcepts.com @danlingneuron

  • Sharing of the data shouldn't be that hard using web-services. Essentially one Hololens will push data to a web-service on a networked computer, and then the other Hololens can pull the data back down.

  • I am an MD and Professor of Health Informatics at UC Davis. I have a HoloLens and can also help to test your application if you need so.

  • Likewise @ Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine

  • Similar here @Yena where are you at?

  • Hi @Yena: If you're still working on this and need help, I work with a team of full-time Hololens developers. We can do it. Write me at melissa@AfterNow.io. Hope the project is going well!

  • We are working in this field also.. :)

  • we have published a demo version of our tool on this - we would be interested in feedback - if you have a HoloLens please take a look and let us know what you think we appreciate any feedback.
