How to build a menu for my holograms
I'm looking to build a menu for my app, pretty much the same as the one as the "menu" of the holograms app for hololens or the "holoplanner" app. Essentially I just want the user to be able to select which hologram they want to place throughout a space through a 2d UI. I'm not able to find much documentation/tutorials on this online and was wondering if anybody would have any insight on whether or not this is relatively doable? Thanks!!

Hi, if you are wanting to create your own UI similar to theirs then you can do that by creating the UI elements in Unity just google how to add UI elements and there will be plenty of results. Its just a matter of getting it to look and interact the same.
Otherwise if you are wanting to go from 2D to 3D then I would recommend following this link:

Although it uses 3D DirectX rather than the Unity engine so you are limited in what you can do.
