Have a Hologram look at the viewer
Can someone help me with the code/strategy for keeping a 3D character looking at the HoloLens viewer (as is done in Fragments)? I am creating experiences with 3D avatars that I want to always look at the viewer so if the viewer moves around the space, the avatar will continue to gaze at the viewer. thanks

Can you let us know more about the avatars? Are the fully skinned with regular skeleton/bones or just static 3D models, or something else?
Assuming full 3D "skeletaly" animated models depending on your resources and needs it can get quite complicated - for one the neck can only rotate so much before the whole body would need to adjust - the "easy" way would be to just rotate it in place but that will look weird and wrong - ideally there would be character animations for them adjusting their position...
