MRTK is a Microsoft Driven opensource project.
MRTK-Unity provides a set of foundational components and features to accelerate MR app development in Unity. Latest Release of MRTK (V2) supports HoloLens/HoloLens 2, WMR, and OpenVR platform. Start your project with MRTK, and
-
Provide basic features as an easy to use SDK to reduce the barrier-to-entry to get started.
-
Enable rapid prototyping by providing the basic building blocks for MR app development.
-
Showcase best practices in MR with UI controls and interactions that matches the WMR and HoloLens Shell.
-
Support a wide audience, allowing solutions to be built that will run on multiple VR / AR / XR platforms such as Mixed Reality, Steam/Open VR.
-
Ensure an extensive framework for advanced integrators, with the ability to swap out core components with their own should they wish to, or simply extend the framework to add new capabilities.

 Windows 10 FCU |
 Unity 3D |
 Visual Studio 2017 |
 Simulator (optional) |
|---|---|---|---|
| To develop apps for mixed reality headsets, you need the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update | The Unity 3D engine provides support for building mixed reality projects in Windows 10 | Visual Studio is used for code editing, deploying and building UWP app packages | The Emulators allow you test your app without the device in a simulated environment |
MRTK-vNext is currently under heavy development. To determine the best branch for starting out, please view the Branch Guide wiki page.
The Mixed Reality team have prepared a few guides for getting up to speed on using the new Mixed Reality Toolkit, which can be found here:
- Downloading the Mixed Reality Toolkit
- Getting Started with the Mixed Reality Toolkit
- Mixed Reality Toolkit configuration guide
More guides to follow.
Any queries, questions or feedback on using the Mixed Reality Toolkit should be raised as Issues on the site. let us know what you like / dislike or think is incredibly awesome!
Alternatively, reach out to us on the HoloDevelopers slack channels
One radical change to the Mixed Reality Toolkit vNext, will be the standards and approaches to real world example scenes.
New examples will follow strict guidelines, such as:
- Each example must have a use and demonstrate a real world test case (no tests).
- Each example will use a standardized template, so all examples have the same look and feel.
- Each sample will be fully documented, detailing both the use case it is demonstrating and how to implement the features demonstrated.
Check the "Work In Progress" section of the Windows Mixed Reality - vNext SDK for a peek at the first new example.
External\How To docs folder is meant to help everyone with migrating forward or any simple doubts they might have about the process. Please feel free to grow all these sections. We can't wait to see your additions!
