Do not fear the unknown.

The Challenge: “Celebrate Science Fiction and Fantasy Con Culture.”

The Prize: All submissions will be shown at Dragon*Con 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia to show the Con audience what the HoloLens is and what it can do.

Wesley Crusher mansplains the rules.

If you can pull apart the two references that make up the title of this month’s contest, “Return of the Nerds”, then HoloLens Challenge #17 is for you, my friend.

Make your saving throw for a successful Unity build.

It’s Con season! Just as Comic-Con San Diego is ending and we slide into WorldCon and Dragon*Con (August and September respectively), let’s take a moment and pay tribute to the sub-culture that doesn’t receive its due for inspiring today’s technological wonders: the world of science-fiction and fantasy.

Let your freak flag fly.

The Rules:

Primus: You have three weeks to complete this challenge. (Due August 18, 2017).

Secundus: Use the ‪#‎hololens_challenge hashtag so we can find you and know you are participating in the challenge.

Tertius: You must post a photo or a video showing your solution to the challenge by Friday 12 PM PST. Let us know about it on the HoloLens Developers Facebook page.

Do not fear the unknown.
