Microsoft Mixed Reality Toolkit v2.0.0 RC1
Pre-release
MRTK v2 Release Candidate 1
MRTK v2 Release Candidate 1 is here for anyone who wants to get started with development for HoloLens 2!
What does release candidate mean? A version of a program that is nearly ready for release but may still have a few bugs and polish issues; the status between beta version and release version.
Why the versioning of our release candidate? Well, we want to let you all get started with the tools for building awesome experiences across all our devices, including HoloLens 2, but we know there is more work to be done before we call MRTK "done".
Getting started
To help you get started using MRTK v2, we are proud to introduce the new Documentation Portal. This is the place to learn to use MRTK, and deep dive into MRTK architecture. We have prepared an initial set of documentation to get you started, but we would also like to hear from you if there's anything else you'd like to see added. If you are up to the challenge, help us improve the documentation by contributing your change! Learn how to contribute on our GitHub Wiki, please follow the documentation guide when you make changes.
