Hi, I'm approaching this world since yesterday and I was wondering if it may be possible to create an entire house in hololens, and walk physically into it.
Thank you very much for your availability.

Certainly doable. The main difficulty would be matching the device position with the real user position - using the spatial mapping data could help but there still would be mismatch.
Also, HoloLens apps are 32 bit ones with limited memory so the level of detail would have to be limited, and shading every pixel of the display would be costly - so probably a better option would be to enhance the house with additional artwork or furniture than recreate the whole thing.

Yes, if you have enough free space around you, this is quite possible. It's more of a VR use of the tech, so the same limitations apply.

I thought about hololens and not vr, because with the last one, you can't see the environment.

Hi... Agreed.... Totally do-able... I have been doing it too... If I can help in any way, please write to me at paul@terrasame.com
See below for a link to a post that I recently added to the Unity forum... It has pics of many projects that I either have finished or are working on and there are building/home projects...
Please have a look...
