To update to the current release, open the Settings app, go to Update & Security, then select the Check for updates button.

  • We've added new voice commands:

    • Try looking at a hologram and rotate it by saying "face me"
    • Change its size by saying "bigger" or "smaller"
    • Move an app by saying "Hey Cortana, move app name here."

  • We've made developing on HoloLens easier. You can now browse, upload, and download files through the Windows Device Portal. You can access the Documents folder, Pictures folder, and the local storage for any app you side-loaded or deployed through Visual Studio.

  • The emulator now supports log-in with a Microsoft Account just like you would on a real HoloLens, which you can enable from the Additional Tools menu ">>".

  • 2D Apps now hide the app bar and cursor when watching video full screen to avoid distraction. Your video watching experience will be even more enjoyable on HoloLens.

  • You can also pin photos without the app bar in your world.

  • File picker works just like you expect it to on HoloLens.

  • Updated Edge browser to map unified user experience with desktop and phone. We enabled multiple instances of your browser, custom HoloLens new tab page, tab peek, and open in new windows, along with power & performance improvements.

  • Groove Music app is now on HoloLens. Visit the store to download it and try playing in the background.

  • You can easily customize how apps are arranged in your world. Try rotating your holograms in adjust mode by simply click and drag on circle in the middle vertical wireframes. You might notice holograms have tighter fitted bounding boxes to ensure maximized interaction. You can also resize all flat apps vertically (except Photos and Hologram apps).

  • We've made several input improvement in this flight. You can connect a regular Bluetooth mouse to HoloLens. The clicker has been fine-tuned to enable resizing & moving holograms with a clicker. Keyboard is also running better than ever.

  • Now you can take mixed reality pictures by pressing down the volume up + volume down simultaneously. You can also share your mixed reality captured photos & videos to Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

  • The maximum recording length of mixed reality videos has been increased to five minutes.

  • Photos app now streams videos from OneDrive instead of having to download the entire video before playback.

  • We've improved how your holograms will be right where you left them. You'll also be presented the option to reconnect to Wi-Fi and try again if HoloLens can't detect where they are.

  • The keyboard has an improved layout for entering email address with keys that allow you to enter the most popular email domains with a single click.

  • Faster app registration and auto detection of time zone during OOBE, giving you the best first user experience.

  • Storage sense allows you to view remaining and used disk space by the system and apps in the settings app.

  • We've converged Feedback App and Inside Hub into a single app Feedback Hub, which is the go-to tool for giving us feedback on features you love, which ones need improvement, and which ones you could do without. When you join the Insider Program, you can keep up on get latest Insider news, rate builds and go on feedback quests from Feedback Hub.

  • We've also published an updated HoloLens Emulator build.

  • Your mixed reality videos now look better because of automatic video stabilization.
