Technology 

Obtaining the right GPU is very important to simulate and design a real-time rendering 3D environment. 2 GB of VRAM GPU should be good – Quadro K620 can be purchased for around $40 on eBay today.

• Preferably Windows Computer

• Preferably Powerful GPU (GTX, RTX, Quadro)

• eStudio provide iMac with all the software needed for the class installed 

• Internet connection

• Google Drive 

• Discord

• GitHub

• Trello

• Zoom
  
  

Working on Mac:

You will not be able to get certain components of the MRTK like the audio spatialized and the universal windows platform. As long as you can build and run an example with the MRTK assets added, you are good to go. The instruction team will assist build the application APPX and deploy the build to the HoloLens 2. 

Working on Windows: 

The Windows SDK for Windows 10 contains headers, libraries, and tools you can use when you create apps that run on Windows - while in this class, you will not be building the application by yourself for deployment. The instruction team will assist build the application APPX and deploy the build to the HoloLens 2.

Open scene -> KirbyWLTManager826New (First scene to check out and test running). 

When you get to scene -> navigate in left Hierarchy window:

WLT_Tutorial -> MainContainer -> Kirby -> Tutorial Controller -> Tutorial Controller script

Tutorial Controller functions as a master cue sheet (theatrical) and each clip are like a short play in the tutorial. This is important as it will become main controller for the DynamicAR play. 

Audio (files can be found in): Assets -> Study -> Tutorial -> Audio files 

Directional Indicator Example Scene can be found:  Assets/MRTK/Examples/Demos/Solvers/Scenes/DirectionalIndicatorSolverExample.unity
