Recently I'm learning some Hololens and Unity3D tutorials.
When I scanned briefly following page for "Windows Device Portal", which is
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/holographic/using_the_windows_device_portal, I thought that I need to sign up for another Microsoft user account for this and skipped reading through.
Spending more time on Unity3D and Hololens, I was able to finished several tutorials.
With great joy, I wanted to share what I did with my daughter.
I thought that I had only two following choices:
- Launching the app I developed in my Hololens and hand it over to my daughter.
- Or recording a video of the app in the Hololens.
When I was watching a youtube video demo about a Jet Engine training, I wondered how they share the view point of the presenter. I noticed that there was no special equipment other than the hololens of the presenter. I started to google it again and I revisited to the url.
Yes, I can stream what I see via my Hololens to my browser.
The only caveat is that I can't share my app using either recording video or taking a picture.
Any way here is what I did:
- Open up Hololens Settings
- Select Update & Security.
- Select "For developers" menu item in the left menu
- Turn on the "Developer Mode" on
- Scroll down to the botton of the page, and turn on "Device Portal"
- Open up a chrome and type "https://[hololens ip address]
- If you don't know it, in your hololens, go to settings->Network & Internet->Advanced Option -> IP v4.
- On the top right of the webpage, select "Security".
- Click on "Request pin"
- In your hololens, you will see the pin number as soon as you click on the button.
- Fill out the pin in the page
- Create a new user Id (yes, create any new user id)
- password
- repeat password
- Once you signed in, click on "Mixed Reality Capture" menu item on the left menu of the page.
- Click on "Live preview"
And also if you want to view it without the portal:
type https://[USERNAME]:[PASSWORD]@[HOLOLENS IP]/api/holographic/stream/live_high.mp4?holo=true&pv=true&mic=true&loopback=true
