How to display a virtual keyboard when a user clicks on InputField?
We have a canvas and a InputField inside it. Is there any way to display a virtual keyboard below it when a user tries to enter some data in it?

If you're using Unity and building as a D3D app, you can use the mixed reality toolkit keyboard prefab:
https://github.com/Microsoft/MixedRealityToolkit-Unity/tree/master/Assets/HoloToolkit/UX/Prefabs
You can trigger click events on the button objects using the executeevents class:
using UnityEngine.UI;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
PointerEventData pointer = new PointerEventData(EventSystem.current);
pointer.position = new Vector2(Screen.width / 2, Screen.height); // simulate pointer at screen center
ExecuteEvents.Execute(buttonObjectOnKeyboard, pointer, ExecuteEvents.submitHandler);
...or you may be able to just call the .Select() method on the button.
Alternatively, if you build as a XAML app, the keyboard should just work ...or so I've heard (haven't actually tried).
