HoloLens - A world where anything is possible + Presentation from John Bristowe

Never has there been a more exciting time to be on the forefront of technology, with HoloLens poised to be a major game-changer.

SSW was one of the 1st companies in Australia to purchase the $3000 HoloLens developer edition.

Microsoft originally assumed it would be a gaming product, but surprisingly, these dev editions are mostly not being purchased by entertainment or gaming companies. In fact the business demand of this product has dramatically outperformed Microsoft’s expectations.

During this presentation, Stephen Carter will take you through:

• The history of the hologram, from fiction and Sci-Fi to reality

• Commercial applications of HoloLens, including how this technology will be such a game-changer across many industries

• Some fun applications

• How you can easily get on board with HoloLens development... and NO, you don’t need a HoloLens to get started!

With an actual, real, true life, working HoloLens to demonstrate, this presentation is not to be missed.

• Special Presentation from John Bristowe - Introduction to the SharePoint Framework

This session will provide an introduction to the (new) SharePoint Framework - a Page and Part model that enables you to build client-side web parts using modern script development tools and the SharePoint Workbench (new development test surface).
