Using the host PC's camera for live preview in the emulator is not a supported scenario.

You can use the locatable camera API to test that the image works, but it won't give you the 3d location of the camera unless you are on a HoloLens device: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/holographic/locatable_camera_in_unity

I don't think so. Your laptop has no depth sensors or anything of the sort. So it wouldn't match the preset spatial maps in the emulator, I may be wrong, But I wouldn't get your hopes up.

What about Intel Realsense R200 or F200?
