7. CORE CONCEPTS OF A MIXED REALTY EXPERIENCE @adoranwodo
8. Comfort Keep the user comfortable: To ensure maximum comfort on head-mounted displays, it’s important for designers and developers to create and present content in a way that mimics how these cues operate in the natural world. @adoranwodo
9. Holographic frame Consider how users see the world Users see the world of mixed reality through a rectangular viewport powered by their headset. On the HoloLens, this rectangular area is called the holographic frame and allows users to see digital content overlaid onto the real world around them. @adoranwodo
10. Variety One of the advantages of developing apps for mixed reality is that there is a spectrum of experiences that the platform can support. From fully immersive, virtual environments, to light information layering over a user’s current environment, mixed reality provides a robust set of tools to bring any experience to life. @adoranwodo
11. Coordinate systems Keeping Holograms in place At their core, mixed reality apps place holograms in your world to look and sound like real objects. This involves precisely positioning those holograms at places in the world that are meaningful to the user, whether it's their physical room or a virtual realm you've created. @adoranwodo
12. Spatial Mapping Making Holographic objects feel real Spatial mapping makes it possible to place objects on real surfaces. This helps anchor objects in the user's world and takes advantage of real world depth cues. @adoranwodo
13. INTERACTION DESIGN FACTORS TO CONSIDER @adoranwodo

15. @adoranwodo
16. Hand and Motion Controllers Touch and manipulate objects directly with you hands. Also interact with objects across large distances. @adoranwodo
17. Voice Inputs Directly command the hologram without having to use gestures @adoranwodo
18. Leveraging Eye Gaze The ability to use information about what users are looking at @adoranwodo
19. Color, Lighting, Materials @adoranwodo
