Deploying apps to the HoloLens Emulator For the HoloLens 2 Emulator, ensure that the Platform is set to x86 or x64. Select the HoloLens Emulator version you want as the target device for debugging. Go to Debug > Start Debugging or press F5 to launch the emulator and deploy your application for debugging.
If you are only developing applications for desktop Windows Mixed Reality headsets or HoloLens (1st gen), you can use Visual Studio 2017 and use the Windows SDK installed by it.
The $3000 HoloLens is self-contained and does not require a PC.
Per the install instructions:
If you are using Visual Studio 2017 and do not have Visual Studio 2015 installed, you must update the registry to work around a prerequisite check Add or locate this key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\Analog Add a REG_SZ value in that key with name: “OverrideHoloLensSDKPrerequisites”, and value: “TRUE” If you are on an x64 version of Windows, also add or locate this key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Analog Add a REG_SZ value in that key with name: “OverrideHoloLensSDKPrerequisites”, and value: “TRUE”
You can use VS 2017 if you never installed VS2015 by doing a registry "fix"

Based on the HoloLens Forums, it says:
The Project template for Holographic hasn't been updated for Visual Studio 2017 yet. Only Visual Studio 2015 is supported at this time.
So for the meantime, you need to use Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 to use the HoloLens emulator
