# Get ready to preview new mixed reality apps for HoloLens
# Preview new mixed reality apps for HoloLens
Microsoft has just announced two new mixed reality apps coming to HoloLens: Microsoft Remote Assist and Microsoft Layout.
On May 22, 2018, these apps will be available to download for free for a limited time from the [Microsoft Store](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps) and [Microsoft Store for Business](https://businessstore.microsoft.com/en-us/store) as part of a public preview. During public preview, you'll be able to distribute the apps across your organization. In the meantime, here's what you need to know to prepare for the public preview of each app, to make sure your roll-out is smooth and seamless.
The gap between the real and digital world limits our ability to take advantage of new technologies and transform how we work, learn, create, communicate, and live. **Mixed reality is here to close that gap**.
## Microsoft Remote Assist
Mixed reality has the potential to help customers and businesses across the globe do things that until now, have never been possible. Mixed reality helps businesses and employees complete crucial tasks faster, safer, more efficiently, and create new ways to connect to customers and partners.
Microsoft Remote Assist enables collaboration in mixed reality to solve problems faster. Firstline workers can collaborate remotely with heads-up, hands-free video calling, image sharing, and mixed reality annotations. They can share what they see with an expert on Microsoft Teams, while staying hands-on to solve problems and complete tasks together, faster.
Ready to get started? Check out the links below to learn more about how you can download and deploy Microsoft's new commercial-focused mixed reality apps.
Below are the technical requirements to distribute Microsoft Remote Assist throughout your organization when it's available from the [Microsoft Store](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps) and [Microsoft Store for Business](https://businessstore.microsoft.com/en-us/store) on May 22, 2018.
## In this section
### Device requirements
| Device | OS requirements | Details |
|:---------------------------|:----------------------------------|:-----------------------------------------------------------|
| HoloLens | Build 10.0.14393.0 or above | See [Manage updates to HoloLens](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/HoloLens/hololens-updates) for instructions on using Windows Update for Business, MDM, and Windows Server Update Service (WSUS) to deploy updates to HoloLens. |

| Mobile device (optional) | Android or iOS | You can use a mobile device to collaborate with the HoloLens. Inking, annotations, and image insertion are not currently available on mobile. |
> [!Note]
> HoloLens build 10.0.14393.0 is the minimum that supports Remote Assist. We recommend updating the HoloLens to newer versions when they are available.
### Licensing & product requirements
| Product required | Details | Learn more |
|:----------------------------------|:------------------|:------------------|
| Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) | Required to log users into the Remote Assist app through Microsoft Teams. Also required for app distribution through the [Microsoft Store for Business](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-store/sign-up-microsoft-store-for-business). If you choose not to distribute the app through the Microsoft Store for Business, users can alternately install Remote Assist on a HoloLens or PC from the [Microsoft Store](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps) using their Microsoft Account credentials (MSA). | [Get started with Azure AD](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/get-started-azure-ad) |
| Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Teams facilitates communication in Remote Assist. Microsoft Teams must be installed on any device that will make calls to the HoloLens. | [Overview of Microsoft Teams](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/teams-overview) |
| Microsoft Office 365 | Because Microsoft Teams is part of Office 365, each user who will make calls from their PC/phone to the HoloLens will need an Office 365 license. | [Office 365 licensing for Microsoft Teams](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/office-365-licensing) |
### Network requirements
1.5 MB/s is the recommended bandwidth for optimal performance of Microsoft Remote Assist. Though audio/video calls may be possible in environments with reduced bandwidth, you may experience HoloLens feature degradation, limiting the user experience. To test your company’s network bandwidth, follow these steps:
1. Have a mobile Teams user (iOS or Android) video call a desktop Teams user.
2. Add another separate video call between a 3rd and 4th user, and another for a 5th and 6th user.
3. Continue adding video callers to stress test your network bandwidth until confident that multiple users can successfully connect on video calls at the same time.
See [Preparing your organization's network for Microsoft Teams](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/prepare-network) to learn more.
## Microsoft Layout
Bring designs from concept to completion with confidence and speed using Microsoft Layout. Import 3D models to easily create room layouts in real-world scale. Experience designs as high-quality holograms in physical or virtual space and edit in real time. With Microsoft Layout, see ideas in context, saving valuable time and money.
Below you'll find the device options, and technical requirements to consider, before distributing Layout throughout your organization when it's available from the [Microsoft Store](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps) and [Microsoft Store for Business](https://businessstore.microsoft.com/en-us/store) on May 22, 2018.
