How to target Hololens UWP App?

Hi,

I was trying to set the Target Device family to “Windows.Holographic” however this doesn’t seem to be a valid value in my current SDK (VS.Net 2015 Update 1 - Windows 10 enterprise build 1511). I’m trying to determine which API’s and functions are specific to this device platform.
1. Will there be a major update to VS.NET and the windows 10 SDK for this UWP configuration to become available? Or am I using the wrong value? The write up has conflicting info. It says we need Update 1, yet suggests you will need to download Update 2 RC (https://dev.windows.com/en-us/holographic/install_the_tools)
2. What is the driver support for Hololens? Will be you able to create custom drivers and install it? Or use the Device API found here (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn265152(v=vs.85).aspx )

Thanks.

    The tools won't be released until the 30th. You won't be able to get it to work before then.

    Hi @Dwight_Goins_EE_MVP have you tried "Windows.HoloLens" ? That should work if you reverse the Windows.System.Profile.AnalyticsInfo.VersionInfo.DeviceFamily.VersionInfo type..

    Also please give a look to what Jerry Nixon is doing here (ln 95)

    Hey @Bryan - I'm not looking for the tools, just the core foundation assemblies. The write up says if you have VS.Net 2015 Update 1 and the Windows 10 SDK 10.0.10586.0 that's all you need. I have both and it doesn't appear to be working.

    Hey @gsantopaolo , I tried these values on Update 2 RC, and no luck. But this is what I was looking for. Basically what's the target device family we need to use. The documentation says all we need is VS.Net 2015 Update 1 and windows 10 build 10.0.10586.0. Which I have. I also downloaded and installed Update 2 RC, however so far none of these values work:
    Windows.Holographic
    Windows.HoloGraphic
    Windows.HoloLens
    Windows.Hololens
    Windows.Graphics.Holographic
    Windows.Graphics.HoloGraphic

    I'm just trying to see what the ApiContract is for Holographic API's.

    Thanks
