Retrieving Rooms Scanned with Mixed Reality Headset?
I'm working with the HP Mixed Reality headset and Unity. I was wondering if there's a way to retrieve the rooms scanned by the headset. Not as a mesh, which is a feature only supported by HoloLens, but as a tag referencing the current room the headset is in.
For example, if the headset is in the restroom, retrieve a tag labeled 'restroom' or 'room1', and if the headset is in the lounge, retrieve a tag labeled 'lounge' or 'room2'.
The application idea is to walk around several rooms, and I'd like to be able to tell in which room the player is.

AFAIK, there no such feature. However another design may help you out. The StageReference frames are basically the way in which you get the world coordinate system. You can keep track of how far a user moves/teleports based on 3D models you have in your space. You can anchor your objects in world space and the differences in units (meters) from where they are compared to where you are. You can also use these stationary objects to become like "markers" in your code to determine rooms. For example you can place a "Lamp" 3D model in the bedroom, and a "TV" model in the living room allowing you to mark if a user is in one room versus another.
