Integrating Azure Cloud Services in Unity for HoloLens 2

Extending mixed reality applications beyond local device limitations is essential for modern spatial computing. By connecting your Unity projects to cloud infrastructure, you can build smarter, more capable HoloLens 2 experiences that leverage powerful remote services. This text-based guide teaches you how to bridge the gap between spatial computing and cloud services. You will understand how to securely store data, utilize computer vision models, and integrate cloud-based logic directly into your Unity-based mixed reality apps, preparing you to build data-driven spatial experiences. What you'll learn: Understand the foundational architecture of cloud-connected mixed reality applications; Configure Azure Storage to save and retrieve media and application data from your HoloLens 2; Integrate Azure Custom Vision to enable image recognition capabilities within Unity; Apply secure authentication and credential-handling practices to protect your cloud resources; Implement modern OpenXR and Mixed Reality Toolkit (MRTK) standards for seamless device deployment. The course begins with core terminology and architectural concepts of cloud-connected spatial computing. From there, you will progress through structured text-based explanations and code snippets covering storage, computer vision integration, and security best practices. Designed for beginner Unity developers and spatial computing enthusiasts looking to expand their skills into cloud integration, this course requires no prior experience with cloud services.
