Calculating distance between the user and object
In Unity, how should one achieve an attempt to calculate a distance of the user (hololens wearer) to the object that they touched?
I am thinking that the user itself is treated as an object but how do I instantiated a new object based on the user position?

The camera represents the device ("the user head, given that he's wearing the HoloLens"), so just grab the camera's transform and the position. You can then do things like Raycasting to the ground or other vector math to calculate relative positions.
