Want a pet Dinosaur? Here’s how you can do it

Microsoft has announced a kickass new app for its upcoming HoloLens augmented reality headset - Actiongram. This one lets users add 3D animated graphics to real world environments via HoloLens. It can then record both live and animated content using HoloLens's mixed reality capture. That means you can pose with your Zombie pal, train your pet dragon and ride your Unicorn around your bedroom.

Microsoft is calling it a holographic storytelling tool. Basically if you want to spice up your life with zombies, unicorns and aliens, this is your thing. There’s a pre-defined library of 3D models and visual effects that you can position and direct. It’s nothing like Hollywood, but it’s damn cool.

The Actiongram app was developed by a small team of five people in a mere six months. Why did they do it? Just to prove the HoloLens can be used to create high-quality holographs, and that they did.

The app will be available in the Windows Store as a part of the Microsoft HoloLens Development Edition. Shipping begins on 30th March, and developers based in Canada and the USA can apply for to buy at a whopping $3,000 (Approx Rs. 2 lakhs).
