Send data from a UWP running on a tablet/PC to Hololens
Hello,
I'm looking to have an UWP app running on a laptop/tablet that could send data to the Hololens. We would have an app running on Hololens that will pick up the message and open the 3D model/experience specified in the message.
What is the recommended/preferred method of communication between tablet app and Hololens?

Hololens is no different than your regular laptop.. It depends on what type of data and how you want the interaction to be... please explain further so we can help.
You may use a simple web service or unity networking or some basic UDP / TCP communcation.
so anyway you communicate between two UWP apps on two windows 10 devices / laptops should work for hololens
