Parsing Bytes
I'm reading a stream of bytes, and am now trying to parse them into usable doubles and floats on the Hololens. Does anyone know any good methods for this? I'm guessing the best way is to use Stream.ReadAsync(), but was curious if anyone had any good alternatives.

That's the most straightforward way to read a data stream. The HoloLens sharing module uses a NeworkInMessage class, but it sounds like you are getting your stream from somewhere else. You might want to add extension methods like ReadFloat and ReadDouble for convenience, like the binary streamreader has.

Sounds like StreamReader may be the better option then.
