Rendering different content for each eye in Mixed Reality - xaml

I'm currently looking to see if there is a way that within a Windows 10 Universal App, that is intended for Mixed Reality, to display different content for each eye?
What would ideal is if this could be done entirely in XAML, for example...
<mixedreality target="lefteye">
...
</mixedreality>
<mixedreality target="righteye">
...
</mixedreality>
I know this can be done in a Unity App but I want this to be done within a Window in the Mixed Reality portal.
Thanks in advance.
Nick.

#fluent-ui/react vs #fluent-ui/react-northstar

I'm looking for some guideline what's the difference between #fluent-ui/react and #fluent-ui/react-northstar. This documentation (READMEs) are super imprecise. I'm don't understand which one to use for what.
I'm writing that react-component to be ran in webapp and the word plugin. Do you know which one to go for? They both look a bit different and feels that theming works a bit different.
You should use fluent-ui/react-northstar if you want to develop apps for Microsoft Teams, else you should use the normal fluent-ui.
If you look at a simple example of a dropdown, you will see that there is quite a lot of difference between the two. Northstar's dropdown combines the features of the dropdown with combobox.
northstar:

normal:

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/fluentui#/controls/web/combobox
Another to take into consideration is that Northstar's scope is limited to Web / Desktop at present.

Report and Invoice UWP Application

I design a UWP application.
In this one I am asked to make many reports that they are invoices or print delivery for example.
These can therefore have different models and these can be fixed or dynamic.
I explore different ideas:
   - In the old application in WPF, we used an old version of DevExpress but it's really not easy to make reports simply and scalable ways easily
   - There are indeed things like Telerik, ComponentOne but it's really expensive for what it does and I can not find an open source component.
   - I looked to be able to make the models in XAML and be able to print them which would be ideal, however it works well with text but with tables (listbox, listview, datagrid ...) I can not manage the pagination.
Do you have any ideas? I do not know Power Bi Embedded well but maybe be an idea? I would like something scalable and simple to implement and without having to pay exhobirating sums for this kind of component.
use all in one DataGrid for enterprise LOB apps on uwp platform, it offers you editing, filtering and sorting etc as well : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/communitytoolkit/controls/datagrid
use Print helper to print stuff from your uwp app. : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/communitytoolkit/helpers/printhelper
Also please do look through other controls and helpers within windows community toolkit you might find some other stuff as well to help and simplify your uwp app developing experience :)

Tiles and Live Tiles in Windows phone 8

Is there any difference between Tile and Live tiles in windows 8 phone.
or we can use both interchangeably.
I googled it but not finds any satisfy results.
This really depends (not actually, but let's assume it this time) on the template for the tile you choose. If the template exists for both WP8 and W8, then the code allowing it to actually do anything looks the same if you utilize C/C++, C# or Visual basic. BUT, most of the templates (XML) does have some differences so most of them will need som opt-ins by you to work on different platforms. So, the short answer is no, they do not work interchangeably and the long one is yes, if you modify the parser (which you can, but should not do!).

Do i need multiple binaries to support multi-resolution windows 8 application?

I am developing a windows 8 application but this application need to be supported on multiple resolution & density screens (tablet, notebook & desktop). Do i need to create multiple binaries for each resolution?
i've looked at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/windows/apps/hh780612 but need the clarification before i jump into a solution.
thanks for your help.
If you're designing according to the Windows Store UX Guidelines, you don't need separate binaries, but you do need to have scaled versions of all graphics, logos, etc. and you need to handle orientation and layout changes in your app so that you always present a suitable UI.
We're going through this pain now, and it's very very tempting to design some static layouts, with fixed positions etc. but that's very much against the Windows Store guidelines. It's probably going to take just as long to do the design as it is to do the code.
If you're using HTML5/Javascript, there is a useful example of an adaptive layout on MSDN
No you don't. Generally it'll just work. You can optionally provide high-resolution images by using a scale naming convention as described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465362.aspx
I recommend that you use the Simulator option when you run the app to test the app looks good at different resolutions and dpi settings.

using dojox.mobile and dijit together

We are trying to make an app maker with dijit. Do you know what to do more or less to have the dojox.mobile.* branch running parallel to my dijit app ?
I know there is a seperate dojox.mobile.parser,... I guess, I need to fork it quite deep ?
I thought first about an iFrame but we need drag'n drop from the designer and the simulator.
Any help is welcome,

dojox.mobile offers a very light-weight parser which can be used in place of the standard dojo.parser. I think it skips stuff like attachpoints and probably wouldn't work too well with Dijit, so if you use both types of widgets on your page, stick with dojo.parser. The parsers share some globals and are unable to co-exist, so do NOT load both.
