UWP Platform

Warning

The UWP platform in Evergine is now deprecated and could be removed in future releases.

Desktop and Tablets

You can add UWP as one of the platforms for your project using the Universal Windows Platform template. With this template, you can create an application that runs on devices such as PCs, tablets, or Xbox.

Create a new project

The project targets Windows 10 build 16299 as the minimum version, and Windows 10 build 18362 as the target version.

Project structure

You can also deploy applications to HoloLens devices, as stated in the Mixed Reality section.

Prerequisites

You must install the target SDKs to build and run the application. You can find download links here.

Application Deployment

As a standard UWP application, you can deploy your application on your local Windows device, a remote device, or a physical device connected by USB to your development machine.

Mixed Reality

If you want to create an Evergine project for HoloLens, you should use the Mixed Reality template.

Create a new project

The project targets Windows 10 build 16299 as the minimum version, and Windows 10 build 18362 as the target version.

XR Capabilities

Evergine for Mixed Reality relies on a set of interfaces and classes defined in the Evergine.Framework.XR.* namespace:

QR code detection with IQRCodeWatcherService.
Spatial anchors with SpatialAnchor.
Spatial mapping with SpatialMappingObserver and SpatialMappingSurface.

Application Deployment

In this case, there are two options for application deployment:

Deploy in the HoloLens emulator: Before deploying, you need to install the device emulator from the official documentation page.
Deploy on a HoloLens device: Remember that you should mark ARM64 as the active configuration to deploy an application for HoloLens 2. For more information, read the official documentation.
