Happy Hololens Developers
Join hundreds of satisfied developers using our Hololens development platform globally.
I am mainly developing web applications, that's why I like BuildWagon very much :) The user experience is very smooth.
I've literally never programmed in javascript before or done Hololens development, so it is going very smoothly on this platform.
BuildWagon allows me not to worry about the machine capability for the development tools. Here we do not download anything, we just need a pc with a web browser. The documentation is quite easy to understand.

Jump on the bandwagon of Hololens Development
We created the BuildWagon platform to help us develop for the Hololens, we thought it might help you too.
As technology pioneers, we wanted to create Hololens applications and be among the first to experiment with the new technology, but we realized that the process was costly, time consuming, and complicated. So we made it simple and fast.
BuildWagon allows you to create and experiment with Hololens solutions in a timely manner.
Our clients are now creating and customizing their own Hololens solutions, and putting it to market within days.
Simply because BuildWagon allows developers to create Hololens applications using the very simple language of Javascript, which is accessible to most developers. Our platform is cloud based, accessible from all browsers, and requires a minimal learning curve.
