Better Spatial Mapping Effects
Hello everyone,
from my point of view, spatial mapping is the most valuable / necessary feature of HoloLens. While the user waits for the room to be scanned, apps like Fragments and RoboRaid produce some very cool scanning effects.
While the Wireframe material that comes with HoloToolkit is very cheap/fast/laconic, it is also boring and reminds me of the 80s - sorry HoloToolkit 
.
How could we achieve some similar to RoboRaid and Fragments scanning visualisation/effects? Are there any prefabs out there? If not, which would be the steps to create a texture-like spatial mesh?
Many thanks in advance!

...are we allowed to bump?
Have a look here for a start: https://github.com/Microsoft/HoloToolkit/wiki/HoloToolkit.SpatialUnderstanding
The shader for a "spatial mapping tap" effect was merged into the HoloToolkit, but it takes a little setup work to get things integrated into your app (and still has a little work left IMO).
https://github.com/Microsoft/HoloToolkit-Unity/pull/353
This pull request was never really finished, but it implements support for the shader into the spatial mapping manager. You can use that as the basis for integrating things into your own project:
https://github.com/Microsoft/HoloToolkit-Unity/pull/420
Maybe a bit late but thank you for the reply!
Are there any updates on this issue?
