"Admin mode" in Unity-based Holographic App?
Hi,
The video on Channel 9, BONUS: Designing for Spatial Variation, talks about "Admin mode", which is sort of separate from the main app experience.
In the "admin mode", presumably you can place a hologram in a certain fixed world-anchored location, etc. The video says you can get into the admin mode via voice command (in the apps they created). But, other than that, no other detail is provided.
So, the question is, if I want to build a Unity-based app with some kind of admin mode, what would be the best way to do it?
Thanks,
~h

Admin mode in the context of the video you linked to was just a special (hidden) screen that was presented when a specific voice command was issued. It allowed an "administrator" or "experience facilitator" to change some settings in the application without having to terminate and re-launch the application. That mode is part of the application and what is done there and how it is entered would be application specific.

What specifically are you asking? How to get your app into an admin mode state? What to do once you are there? Something different?
@timg, my understanding is that the holographic 3D app provides a fully immersive mode. Does "admin mode" mean switching between two different 3D worlds? Or, is there a way to enable some special modes where you can hide/show certain sets of holograms depending on the mode, etc. inside a single holographic world? Thanks, ~h
