App Model
Hi, quick question if someone can help, do you know if you can connect your 3D app to publish to a webserver (i.e. posting/publishing values to an online scoreboard)? Does the current app model allow for that?

@Jason, yes, you can access the network from your holographic apps (just like from any other Win10 apps) as far as I can tell. There seems to be some APIs that are not currently supported on HoloLens, but your use case seems fine.

@jason to add to @holodoctor answer, you might look at Academy session 240 as an example of a 3D app communicating over the network with another pc.
The source for the sharing component is all on GitHub and may provide you as a sample to reference.
