Today’s project from Proteus is a community created Template for creating HoloLens applications with UE4…
So here I propose a template to easily develop for the HoloLens on UE4.
Video I made of this: https://youtu.be/KxvAm2qNJ0Q (note that the spatial mapping is not excellent near a pool and during the night… that’s why the holograms are a little shacky)
A very important note: This is based on an branch of Unreal currently and actively developed by a very dedicated Microsoft team.
For version 1.0, gesture are not enabled yet and spatial mapping is used with limitations.
Expect a rapid development while we’ll follow the team and enable features after features.
I’ll try to do my best to speed up the development, but hey the goal here is to put the community talents together to finally have a well-working, fully-enabled Hololens template. This will be also very handy for Windows Mixed-Reality HMDs which are
coming to us in a near future.
However I keep a focus an Hololens since I personnaly think that spatial mapping and hand-gestures recognition is the future of VR/AR.

VERSION 1.0
AUGUST 1st, 2017
TESTED ON UNREAL 4.16.2 – MIXED REALITY BRANCH
I did the Hololens 1.0 template based on the commit 9462825, pushed on July 31, 2017 by Andrew Pilley, software development engineer at Microsoft
The latest commit, 5418fb3, pushed on August 1, 2017 by Angela Hillier, another software engineer at Microsoft, presently fails to compile.
As of now, the latest well-working template is with commit 9462825
What to do:
On the Hololens
· Enable developer mode
· Be sure that latest version 10.0.14393.0 is installed
· Go to your router and note the ip adress of your Hololens
Compiling UE4 from source

Main infos found in the forum at https://forums.unrealengine.com/show…olens-Template
To install as a template, just unzip into the appropriate templates directory like (install dir)\Templates for launcher version. Launch a new project, and you’ll find it in the blueprint section.
To open as a project file, open the project with the launcher or directly from the .uproject file.
