Mixed reality capture from 3rd-person-view camera
Mixed Reality capture is a cool function in Portal but it's from first person view. But how to make a 3rd person view camera for demonstrating what's inside the holo world.
In Hololens live demo, there is always a DSLR/production camera attached to Hololens that captures the scene of the Hololens user from third person view. You can see that camera here in the video from Build 2016.
From all hololens promotion video / live show, I think that this 3rd person view technology is very mature and widely used in hololens team.
My question:
When it will be available for Developpers? It's super useful for developers to make the live demo for their own apps in hololens for trade show and promotion video making.

hupo001: The best option for what you are looking for is to create a shared Holographic experience between 2 HoloLenses and do a Mixed Reality Capture from one of them. This would be 1st person from the one lens (the "camera" lens), but would be 3rd person with respect to the non-camera lens interacting with Holograms. The best guide for shared experiences is probably this tutorial:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/holographic/holograms_240
Hope that helps.
If you don't have a second lens, take a look at this thread:

Does any one from Microsoft Hololens team would mind to respond to this inquiry??!! Please!
More information on this would be amazing. This is a really big opportunity for the hololense and potential uses. Especially for the outside viewer since the availability of the hololense is pretty limited at this stage. If there could be some more light shed by Microsoft on this subject, that would be awesome. Perhaps some sort of direction or example, rather than just "hacking" from the emulator view.
Completely agree..

I've heard form a reliable source that Hololens team is actually hard at work on Mini BEV (birds eye view) plugin that would allow us to do similar to what they've done at conventions / presentations.
I agree, huge opportunity. My main background is a filmmaker -- I can't wait to add hologram tracking to my cinema cameras and shoot awesome MR videos.
Hopefully Hololens team will update us here when it is ready. Can't wait!
Has anybody heard anything new on this?
