Following the initial intro post see http://peted.azurewebsites.net/gltf-directx/ I have written a few follow-up posts to highlight some of my learnings from writing this sample. This one is the final post and contains topics I thought were interesting but didn’t warrant…
Following the initial intro post see http://peted.azurewebsites.net/gltf-directx/ I’m going to write a few follow up posts to highlight some of my learnings from writing this sample glTF glTF has been designed with some fundamental principles in mind; Physically-based rendering Often…
3D File Formats As we begin to witness the ascent of mixed reality into the next generation primary human-computer interaction environment it’s not entirely unreasonable to wonder how the existing infrastructure for 3D graphics would bear the load of ubiquitous…
Now, there are a few reasons why you might want the ability to load FBX files; maybe you want to load 3D model files dynamically or you are working on a native HoloLens app and just want a way to…
I promised earlier (http://peted.azurewebsites.net/fake-microsoft-band/) to share some more details about the client-side of the Band on the Run project I have been working on alongside my colleague at Microsoft David Gristwood.We set the project up initially as a learning opportunity…
This is a very simple post showing an implementation of the detection of a sound, any sound above a threshold, using the Kinect V2 SDK. The sample is written as a C++ XAML Windows Store app. The code uses the…
For the older Kinect v1.0 there was a sample included with the Kinect SDK which provided browser compatibility. The general idea is that the Kinect SDK can be used to retrieve the various Kinect data streams i.e., the RGB stream,…
C++ has long been a great option for cross-platform mobile development particularly in the cases where you might have an existing C++ codebase or you have certain types of performance considerations. For this article I am going to constrain the…
Peter Daukintis This is a very basic example of socket communication in a c# metro-style application using StreamSocket and StreamSocketListener. It mirrors the Simple StreamSocket example in msdn here http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/StreamSocket-Sample-8c573931 which is coded in c++ and javascript but no c#.…
Well, this turned out to be pretty easy …… The aim was to carry out a simple image transform with touch; so pinch zoom, translate and rotate. This is how the code turned out. First, the xaml, which is an…
