Extract depth camera mesh from mixed reality headset? Unity 2017

Hey guys, a newbie here~
I'm working on Unity currently and the Acer Window Mixed Reality Headset. I was wondering if there is any way to display or extract the raw data from the depth camera? Looking for ways to do live rendering/detection.
Like how the kinect depth camera can render live and be viewed in the headset (example in photo):
How do you extract the reconstructed mesh that the cams are tracking? Does the depth camera even have capabilities to do this?

If it's not able to do room mapping, is it even possible to just look at the raw data of the camera somehow?
The sensors are not cameras they are used to keep headset tracking using infra read there is no access to streams.
To do this you will need an old Xbox One Kinect 2 to Windows as used in your picture above. The Kinect SDK support depth streams. The HoloLens does not support infrared depth streams data access, with major problems for support. Immersive headsets don't have the camera hardware.
The Kinect SDK has an example of using infra red depth streams
For tutorial see Windows 10, 1607, UWP and Experimenting with the Kinect for Windows V2 Update
