Hello everyone.

The Mixed Reality Forums here are no longer being used or maintained.

There are a few other places we would like to direct you to for support, both from Microsoft and from the community.

The first way we want to connect with you is our mixed reality developer program, which you can sign up for at https://aka.ms/IWantMR.

For technical questions, please use Stack Overflow, and tag your questions using either hololens or windows-mixed-reality.

If you want to join in discussions, please do so in the HoloDevelopers Slack, which you can join by going to https://aka.ms/holodevelopers, or in our Microsoft Tech Communities forums at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/mixed-reality/ct-p/MicrosoftMixedReality.

And always feel free to hit us up on Twitter @MxdRealityDev.

Limit on Max Number of Triangles Supported by Hololens?

I am currently developing an app that requires a high quality spatial mesh. After completing the Holograms 230 tutorial, I know that it is possible to adjust the quality of the spatial mesh by increasing the Max Number of Triangles Per Cubic Meter. I am wondering if there is a hard limit on this value imposed by the Hololens? (i.e. does the Hololens impose a maximum bounds on the number of triangles that can be specified when setting Max Number of Triangles Per Cubic Meter?)

    There's no limit imposed by HoloLens for the API, although the detail you get back from spatial mapping will stop changing at some point. I would exercise caution leveraging this behavior and keep the TPCM number 'sane' (in the low to mid four figure range). The reason is that it could be that some future build actually enables a higher level of detail that wasn't enabled in the past. In that future build your application could suffer performance side effects if your application asks for a very large number of TPCM and suddenly starts getting what it asked for.
