We’ve all seen the amazing third-person captures of Microsoft HoloLens experiences, which Microsoft has demonstrated at their live events, and in their marketing videos. Now, you can create the same high-quality mixed reality captures using your own DSLR camera, Microsoft’s HoloLens device hardware, and Valorem’s Mixed Reality Observer (MiRO) capture solution.
“Valorem’s Immersive Experiences Team has been hard at work developing a HoloLens device accessory and application offering based on Microsoft’s spectator view open source solution, which Microsoft is sharing publicly today. We’re thrilled to be the first agency partner to utilize the spectator view technology as inspiration for developing our own commercial solution, which we’ve dubbed MiRO (Mixed Reality Observer). Like the spectator view solution, MiRO allows HoloLens device owners to create high-definition mixed reality photos and videos, with unsurpassed ease. Having early access to the spectator view source code solution, along with the 3D CAD models we used to 3D print the HoloLens DSLR mounting brackets, significantly accelerated our team’s development efforts. We’re very pleased to be a HoloLens Agency Partner, and helping to drive further adoption of the Microsoft HoloLens platform through unique solution offerings like MiRO.” – Mark Brown, SVP Research & Incubation
