Programmatically wake an app/hologram without tapping
Hi there, I'm new to the forums but have been developing for the hololens for a couple of weeks now and I was wandering if there is a way to take an app or hologram out of sleep without tapping on it. An example would be I place an animated hologram on a wall and walk to another room and use other apps and holograms causing the original animated hologram to hibernate/sleep. I then go back to that room and once I am close enough the app would then wake up and continue animating.
Is this possible or is it not a current feature?
Thanks in advance!

Hi @ShayneKiekebosch,
An air-tap or "Select" voice command is required to re-awaken an app. The holographic shell does not currently support 'awake on focus'. If possible, could you open a suggestion in the 'Feedback Hub' to get that feature added?
Thanks!
