VLC in Hololens

VLC, a free, open-source player for cross-platform streaming multimedia, arrived today in the Windows Store for Hololens.

Microsoft OS Group technical fellow Alex Kipman tweeted the news with a video from his own Hololens today. The experience looks much like other video streaming demos we’ve seen for Hololens so far, with scaling and tracking to pin it or take the view with you.

A private beta version became available earlier this month. This updated Universal Windows Platform app version replaces “VLC for Windows Store.”
