Can holoLens make some parts of scenes invisible like hologolf app?
There is a hologolf app that has been published in the store, I want to make a large scene like that, but square of which is visible while the rest is invisible. Mimecraft game already makes that happen. What should I do? Please help. Thanks.

If I understand you correctly, you want to implement a "window effect", or at least some sort of occlusion.
The academy course Holograms 230 provides an introduction to occlusion in chapter 5.
Also, the HoloToolkit provides a shader for occluding objects. Mike Taulty wrote a really good blog post that describes the steps needed to create a window, through which the user can see 3D content.
I noticed that the links above were duplicated and so just including the link to my post here if you're interested in looking at that simple version.
