HolographicJS

Very similar to my work here: https://github.com/lwansbrough/HolographicJS that got no love on HN. :( But I'm really happy Microsoft has chosen to create something similar - I had hoped they would. Their implementation seems quite solid, I wonder if it supports libraries like Three.js yet. If anyone is wondering why you might use this, the reason is pretty simple. Before this, there was only two ways to build HoloLens apps: Unity, or C++/DirectX. DX is great but slow to develop, Unity is fast to develop but requires a ton of prerequisite knowledge, and it consumes a ton of RAM. Baseline for this project will probably be similar to mine (around 15MB) whereas Unity's baseline in my experience is around 10x that at 150MB. This is substantial on HoloLens, because the maximum amount of RAM allotted to any application is 1GB. I'm looking forwar

Just checked out exocortex.com, have you taken any look at the Hololens? For instance, Vuforia is working on selling catalog items using 3d models built in Unity [0], but perhaps you could use HolographicJS as another target once it matures [1]. I'm working in AR in a different space but as a longtime JS developer I would love to see this all come together. [0]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6CpD4hVmqc&feature=youtu.be...
